Refraction through Prism — Prelims Questions
A ray of light passes through an equilateral prism (refracting angle ). If the angle of minimum deviation is , what is the refractive index of the material of the prism?
For a prism, the angle of incidence and angle of emergence are related to the angle of deviation and angle of prism by the formula:
A thin prism of angle gives a deviation of . What is the refractive index of the material of the prism?
