A ray of light is incident at an angle of incidence i, on one face of a prism of angle A (assumed to be small ) and emerges normally from the opposite face. If the refractive index of the prism is . the angle of incidence i, is nearly equal to
- AA
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
For normally emerge e = 0
Therefore r2 = 0 and r1 = A
Snell’s Law for Incident ray’s
1sin i = sin r1 = sin A
For small angle
i = A
