If A is angle of prism, D is angle of deviation, i is angle of incidence and e angle of emergence,then what is the correct relation between them ?

A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror, making an angle 'q' with the surface of the mirror. Arrange the following steps in sequential order to calculate the angle between the incident light ray and the reflected light ray. (A) Draw a normal line on the plane mirror at the point of incidence of the light ray. (B) Note down the angle between the plane mirror and the incident light ray. (C) The sum of the angle of incidence and the angle between the plane mirror and the incident ray is 90^(@) .Determine the angle of incidence. (D) From the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Then the sum of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection gives the angle between the incident light ray and the reflected light ray.

Two optical media have a plane boundary between them. Suppose theta_(1 cr) is the critical angle of incidence of a beam and theta_(1) is the angle of incidence at which the refracted beam is perpendicular to the reflected one (the beam is assumed to come from an optically denser medium). Find the relective index of these media if sin theta_(1 cr)//sin theta_(1) = eta = 1.28 .
