प्रश्न
Write a relation for the angle of deviation (δ) for a ray of light passing through an equilateral prism in terms of the angle of incidence (i1) angle of emergence (i2) and angle of the prism (A).
उत्तर
The relation is i1 + i2 = A + δ
Replacing i2 by e the angle of emergence.
i1 + e = A + δ or [δ = (i1 + e) - A]

Define the term angle of deviation.
Diagrams (a) and (b) in figure below show the refraction of a ray of light of single colour through a prism and a parallel sided glass slab respectively.
- In each diagram, label the incident, refracted, emergent rays and the angle of deviation.
- In what way the direction of emergent ray in the two cases differ with respect to the incident ray? Explain your answer.
A ray of light incident at an angle of incidence i1 passes through an equilateral glass prism such that the refracted ray inside the prism is parallel to its base and emerges at an angle of emergence i2.
- How is the angle of emergence ‘i2’ related to the angle of incidence ‘i1’.
- What can you say about the angle of deviation in such a situation?
A ray of light is normally incident on one face of an equilateral glass prism. Answer the following:
What is the angle of refraction from the first face of the prism?
In refraction of light through a prism, the light ray ______.
A ray of light suffers refraction through an equilateral prism. The deviation produced by the prism does not depend on the ______.
Draw a ray diagram to show the refraction of a monochromatic ray through a prism when it suffers a minimum deviation. How is the angle of emergence related to the angle of incidence in this position.
When white light enters a prism, it gets split into its constituent colours. This is due to:
Assertion: When a pencil is partly immersed in water and held obliquely to the surface, the pencil appears to bend at the water surface.
Reason: The apparent bending of the pencil is due to the refraction of light when it passes from water to air.
A monochromatic ray of light is incident on an equilateral prism placed at minimum deviation position with an angle of incidence 45° as shown in the diagram?
- Copy the diagram and complete the path of the ray PQ.
- State two factors on which the angle of deviation depends.
