To trace the path of light through a glass prism effectively, a student should observe the following four precautions: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Use a Sharp Pencil for Drawing Boundaries:** - When marking the outline of the glass prism on the paper, it is essential to use a sharp pencil. A sharp pencil ensures that the lines are clear and precise, which is crucial for accurately tracing the path of light. 2. **Maintain Adequate Separation Between the Planes:** ...

While traching the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab a student tabulated his observations. If in his experiment for two readings he takes two values of angle ians 40^(@) and 50^(@) . What should be the correct values of anglee and angler in each case ?

What is the cause of dispersion of white light through a glass prism Draw a ray diagram to show the path of light when two identical glass prisms are arranged together in inverted position with respect to each other and narrow beam of white light is allowed to fall obliquely on one of the faces of the prisms.

The diagram shown below in Fig. 6.8 shows the path taken by a narrow beam of yellow monochromatic light passing through an equiangular glass prism. If the yellow light is replaced by a narrow beam of white light incident at the same angle, draw another diagram to show the passage of white light through the prism and label it to show the effect of the prism on the white light.

When a ray of sun light passes through the prism, each colour of light has its own speed in the glass. The seven colours come out of the prism with different angles of deviation. Red deviates least and blue deviates maximum. Thus a prism can disperse a white light into seven colours which is called colour spectrum. For a thin prism, the angle of deviation is given as delta=(n-1)A . The angle of dispersion is given as phi=delta_(v)-delta_(r) . The dispersive power of a prism is omega=(phi)/(delta_("mean"))=(phi)/(delta_(y)) Using the above ideas, give answer the following questions. A prism has R.I. for violet and red n_(v)=1.523, n_(r)=1.5145 . If the angle of prism is A=2^(@) the dispersive power of the prism is :

The path of a ray of light passing through an equilateral glass prism ABC is shown in figure. The ray of light is incident on face BC at the critical angle for just total internal reflection. The total internal reflection. The total angle of deviation after the refraction at face AC is 108^@ . Calculate the refractive index of the glass.

The existence of negatively charged particle in an atom was shown by J.J. Thomson as a result of the studies of the passage of electricity through gases at extremely low pressure known as discharge tube experiments. When a high voltage of the order of 10,000 volts or more was impressed across the electrodes, some sort of invisible rays moved from the negative electrode to the positive electrode these rays are called as cathode rays. Cathode rays travel in straight path in absence of electrical and magnetic field . Cathode rays consist of material part and charged particles? Cathode rays produce X-rays and light is emitted when they strike on ZnS screen. Cathode rays penetrate through thin sheets of aluminium and other metals . They affect the photogenic plate and passes heating effect when they strike on metal foil. The raito of charge to mass i.e charge/mass is same for all the cathode rays irrespective of the gas used in the tube. The existence of positively charged particle in an atom was shown be E. Goldstein. He repeated the same discharge tube experiments by using a perforated cathode. It was observed that when a high potential difference was applied between the electrodes, not only cathode rays were produced but also a new type of rays were produced simultaneoulsy from anode moving towards cathode and passes through the holes or canal of the cathode. These termed as canal rays or anode rays. These rays travel in straight lines and consists of positively charged particles. These rays have kinetic energy and produces heating effect also. The e/m ratio of these rays is smaller than that of electrons. Unlike cathode rays, their e/m value is dependent upon the nature of the gas taken in the tube. These rays produced flashes of light on ZnS screen and can pass throughs thin metal foils. They can produce physical and chemical changes and are capable to produce ionisation in gases. Which is not true with respect to cathode rays?
