Consider an equilateral prism (refractive index \( \sqrt{2} \)). A ray of light is incident on its one surface at a certain angle i. If the emergent ray is found to graze along the other surface then the angle of refraction at the incident surface is close to __________ .
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \( 15^{\circ} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Equilateral prism.
\( A=60^{\circ} \)
\( \mu~Sinr_{2}=1.sine=1 \)
\( Sinr_{2}=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \)
\( r_{2}=45^{\circ} \)
\(\therefore r_1=A-r_2=15^{\circ}\)
\( A=60^{\circ} \)
\( \mu~Sinr_{2}=1.sine=1 \)
\( Sinr_{2}=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \)
\( r_{2}=45^{\circ} \)
\(\therefore r_1=A-r_2=15^{\circ}\)
