Figure alongside shows an equilateral prism ABC and the ray QR emerging out from the prism after suffering minimum deviation. Complete the diagram to show the refracted ray PQ inside the prism and the incident ray OP on the prism. State in words how have you completed the diagram to show the refracted ray PQ inside the prism and the incident ray OP on the prism. state in words how have you completed the diagram.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The completed diagram is shown below in Figure.
.
Way of drawing:
(1) The refracted ray PQ is drawn parallel to the base BC of the prism since the emergent ray QR has suffered minimum deviation.
(2) After drawing normals on face AB of prism at P and on face AC of prism at Q, the incident ray OP is drawn such that the angle of incidence `i_(1)` is equal to the angle of emergence `i_(2)`.
