प्रश्न
A ray PQ is incident normally on the face AB of a triangular prism of refracting angle 60° as shown in figure. The prism is made of a transparent material of refractive index `2/sqrt(3)`. Trace the path of the ray as it passes through the prism. Calculate the angle of emergence and the angle of deviation.
उत्तर
Given: ∠A = 60°, ∠i = 0°
At M: Sin C = `1/μ = sqrt(3)/2` = sin 60°
∴ C = 60°
So the ray PM after refraction from the face AC grazes along AC.
∴ ∠C = 90°
From ∠i + ∠C = ∠A + ∠δ
Or 0° + 90° = 60° + ∠δ
∴ δ = 90° – 60° = 30°

An infinitely long cylinder of radius R is made of an unusual exotic material with refractive index –1 (Figure). The cylinder is placed between two planes whose normals are along the y direction.
