(a) Deduce the expression, by drawing a suitable ray diagram, for the refractive index of a triangular glass prisms in terms of the angle of minimum deviation (D) and the angle of prism (A).
Draw a plot showing the variation of the angle of deviation with the angle of incidence.
(b) Calculate the value of the angle of incidence when a ray of light incident on one face of an equilateral glass prism produces the emergent ray, which just grazes along the adjacent face. Refractive index of prism is `sqrt2`
