Question : 7

Total: 26

A ray PQ incident normally on the refracting face BA is refracted in the prism BAC made of material of refractive index 1.5. Complete the path of ray through the prism. From which face will the ray emerge? Justify your answer.

Solution:

Path of emergent ray
Naming the face
Justification

Face-AC
Here ic‌=sin‌−1(‌

)
‌=sin‌−1(0.6)
∠i on face AC is 30∘ which is less than ∠ic . Hence the ray get retracted here.
