Refraction through a Prism
Important Questions on Refraction through a Prism
In the diagram, a ray is passing through a broken prism, find angular deviation for the ray

A plot between the angle of deviation and angle of incidence is shown in figure. From the graph one can say that the prism angle is

An isosceles prism of angle has one of its surfaces silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence on the other surface retrace their path after reflection from the silvered surface. The refractive index of prism material is

14. Which of the following statements is correct?

Show that for a thin prism the deviation is given by

The refractive index of a prism for a monochromatic wave is and its refracting angle is For minimum deviation, the angle of incidence will be

A thin glass prism produces an angle of deviation in air. How the angle of minimum deviation will change, if the prism is immersed in a liquid of refractive index

Show that the maximum value of the angle of prism is twice its critical angle.

Which of the following alternatives is correct for a prism placed in a position of minimum deviation? (Symbols have their usual meanings)

Derive the relation between refractive index and minimum deviation. (Prism formula)

Derive expression for deviation produced by prism.

What is the maximum refractive index to get an emergent ray from an equilateral prism?

Suppose a small angled prism of deviates a ray through then the refractive index is

The angle of minimum deviation for a prism of dense glass is found to be when in air and when immersed in certain liquid. The refractive index of the liquid is

A light ray of angle of incidence emerged from the prism in minimum deviation position. Then what is the angle of emergence on the second surface?

A ray of light is incident on one of the faces of the prism with an angle with the surface. The angle of the prism is The emergent ray is deviated through an angle The angle of emergence is

A light ray is incident normally on one of the refracting faces of a prism and just emerges out grazing the second surface. Then, the relation between angle of the prism and its critical angle is

If the refractive index of a material of equilateral prism is , then angle of minimum deviation of the prism is

A prism of the refractive index has a refracting angle of . At what angle a ray must be incident on it so that it suffers a minimum deviation?

A ray of light is incident at an angle of on a prism of refracting angle If refractive index of the material of the prism is then angle between incident ray and emergent ray will be
