Can a prism be used to produce inversion (refracted in opposite direction) Without deviation ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a prism can be used to produce inversion (where the light ray is refracted in the opposite direction) without deviation, we can analyze the behavior of light as it passes through a prism. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Prism**: A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. The most common type of prism is a triangular prism. 2. **Incident Ray**: Consider an incident ray approaching the prism. The ray strikes the first surface of the prism at an angle. ...
