Refraction of Light Through a Glass Prism
Refraction of Light Through a Glass Prism: Overview
In this topic, we will study the refraction of light through a glass prism with the help of diagrams. Light refraction happens in both when it enters the prism and when it leaves the prism.

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:

While performing the experiment to trace the path of a ray of light passing through glass prism, four students marked the incident ray and the emergent ray in their diagrams in the manner shown below:
The correct path of the rays has been shown by:
