To solve the question, we need to identify the instrument that utilizes the action of a right-angled prism when a ray of light is incident normally on its hypotenuse. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup - We have a right-angled prism ABC, where angle A is 90 degrees. - A ray of light PQ is incident normally on the hypotenuse AC of the prism. **Hint:** Recall that "normally" means the light hits the surface at a 90-degree angle, which affects how it refracts. ...
