Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Precautions to be observed while tracing the path of ray of light through a glass prism:
(i) A sharp pencil shold be used for drawing the boundary of the glass prism.
(ii) The seperation between the two pins should not be less than 5cm.
(iii) The pin should have sharp tips and fixed vertically.
(iv) Proper arrows should be marked to indicate incident, refracted and emergent ray.
