प्रश्न
An object is viewed through a glass prism with its vertex pointing upwards. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of its image as seen by the observer on the other side of the object.
उत्तर
Let two rays OA and OL from a source O are incident on the prism. They are refracted along AB and LM from first face of the prism. These two rays again refract from the second face of the prism emerge out along BC and MN respectively such that they appear to come from I.
Thus, observer sees the object O raised to the position I.

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).
In following figure shows two identical prisms A and B placed with their faces parallel to each other. A ray of light of single colour PQ is incident at the face of the prism A. Complete the diagram to show the path of the ray till it emerges out of the prism B.
[Hint: The emergent ray out of the prism B will be parallel to the incident ray PQ]
What should be the angle of incidence for a ray of light which suffers a minimum deviation of 36° through an equilateral prism?
[Hint: A = 60°, i = (A + δmin)/2]
When white light enters a prism, it gets split into its constituent colours. This is due to:
Assertion: The light emerges from a parallel-sided glass slab in a direction perpendicular to that in which enters the glass slab.
Reason: The perpendicular distance between the original path of the incident ray and the emergent ray coming out of the glass slab is called lateral displacement of the emergent ray of light.
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.
In an experiment to trace the path of a ray of light through a glass prism for different values of angle of incidence a student would find that the emergent ray:
White light is dispersed by a prism. Inside the prism, compared to the blue light, the red light ______.
Name the colour of white light which is deviated the least on passing through a prism.
