A prism is made of glass of unknown refractive index. A parallel beam of light is incident on a face of the prism. By rotating the prism,the angle of minimum deviation is measured to be 40^(@) . What is the refractive index of the material of the prism? If the prism is placed in water (refractive index 1.33), predict the new angle of minimum deviation of a parallel beam of light. Refracting angle of the prism is 60^(@) .

A ray of light falls normally on one side other than the hypotenuse of a right angled isosceles prism of refractive index 1.5. From which side will the ray emerge from the prism? Find the deviation of the incident ray.

A monochromatic ray of light is incident normally on a refracting face of a prism of angle 30^(@) . If the refractive index of the material of the prism is 1.5 , calculate the angle of emergence and the angle of deviation. [sin48.6^(@) = 0.75]

A parallel beam of light of lambda = 5 xx 10^(-7) m is incident normally on a narrow slit of width 0.2 mm. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen at the focal plane of a convex lens of f = 50 cm. Find the distance between the first two minima and the first two maxima on the screen.

In Young's double slit experiment the fringe width is found to be 0.3 mm. Now if a thin glass plate of refracting index 1.5 is placed in the path of any one of light rays coming from the slits then the width of the fringe will be
