A ray of light falling normal to the mirror returns along the same path.Why?

The plane and polished surface that returns lightr falling on it in the same direction or any other direction is called:

During reflection, light after striking polished surface is -

A beam of light of wavelength 400 nm is incident normally on a right angled prism as shown in fir.2.45. . It is observed that the light just grazes long the surface AC after falling on it.Give that there fractive index of the material of the prism varies with the wavelength as per the relation. mu=1.2 + b/(gamma^2) Calculate the value of b and the refractive index of the prism material for a wavelength gamma = 500 nm .Given theta=sin^(-1) 0.625 .

Prism A prism is a portion of transparent refracting medium bounded by two plane surfaces inclined to each other at a certain angle, and the angle between the refracting faces is called angle of the prism denoted by A. The deviation produced by the prism is maximum for violet (delta_v) and minimum for red (delta_r) colour. The deviation (delta) for yellow colour is given by
