प्रश्न
A ray of light passes through a prism of refractive index `sqrt2` as shown in the figure. Find:
- The angle of incidence (∠r2) at face AC.
- The angle of minimum deviation for this prism.
उत्तर
(i) Since at point N, the angle of refraction is 90°, then ∠r2 is the critical angle for the glass-air pair of media.
sin ∠r2 = `1/μ = 1/sqrt2`
∴ ∠r2 = `sin^-1(1/sqrt2)` = 45°
(ii) μ = `sin(("A" + δ_"m")/2)/(sin "A"/2)`
Or, `sqrt2 = sin ((60^circ + δ_"m")/2)/(sin 60^circ/2)`
Or, `sqrt2 = sin (30^circ + δ_"m"/2)/(1/2)`
Or, 0.7 = `sin(30^circ + δ_"m"/2)`
Or, sin−1 0.7 = `30^circ + δ_"m"/2`
Or, 44.4° = `30^circ + δ_"m"/2`
∴ δm = 28.8°

One day Chetan’s mother developed a severe stomach ache all of a sudden. She was rushed to the doctor who suggested for an immediate endoscopy test and gave an estimate of expenditure for the same. Chetan immediately contacted his class teacher and shared the information with her. The class teacher arranged for the money and rushed to the hospital. On realizing that Chetan belonged to a below average income group family, even the doctor offered concession for the test fee. The test was conducted successfully.
