To solve the problem of how a right-angled isosceles prism can be used to invert rays, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Prism A right-angled isosceles prism has two equal sides and a right angle between them. The hypotenuse acts as the entry and exit surface for light rays. ### Step 2: Drawing the Ray Diagram 1. **Draw the Prism**: Start by sketching a right-angled isosceles prism. Label the vertices as A, B, and C, where A and B are the ends of the base, and C is the apex of the right angle. 2. **Incident Ray**: Draw an incident ray approaching the prism from the left side, striking the hypotenuse (AC) at an angle. Label the point of incidence as D. ...
