When white light passes through a glass prism,one gets a spectrum on the other side of the prism. In the emergent beam,the ray which deviates the least is:

  • A
    Violet ray
  • B
    Green ray
  • C
    Red ray
  • D
    Yellow ray

Define incidence angle,emergence angle,and deviation angle in the context of a prism.

If a prism having refractive index $\sqrt{3}$ has an angle of minimum deviation equal to the refracting angle of the prism,then the refracting angle of the prism is......$^o$

View Solution

The refractive index of the material of a prism is $\sqrt{2}$ and the angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$. One of the two refracting surfaces of the prism is made a mirror inwards,by silver coating. $A$ beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path (after reflection from the silvered surface) if its angle of incidence on the prism is (in $^{\circ}$)

For a small angled prism with prism angle $A$,the angle of minimum deviation $\delta$ varies with the refractive index $\mu$ of the prism as shown in the graph.
