Prism, Dispersion & Scattering

A ray of light is incident at an angle 'I' on one face of thin prism. The ray emerges normally from the other face. Refractive index of the glass prism is 'nn' and angle of prism is 'AA'. The value of 'II' is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Normal emergence: r2=0r_2 = 0, so r1=Ar_1 = A.
  2. sin⁡I=nsin⁡A\sin I = n\sin A; small angles give I=nAI = nA.
  3. So the answer is (a) AnAn.
