solve only (ii) & explain (i) A ray of light incident on face AB of an equilateral glass prism, shows minimum deviation of 300. Calculate the speed of
light through the prism.
c
(ii) ind the angle of incidence at face AB so that the emergent ray grazes along the face AC.
from snells law,
sin i /sin r=µ12
for emergent ray to grace through face AC, <r=90°
then at AC, applying snells law,
sin i/1=1/sqrt(2)
=>iAC =45°
using snells law,
sin iAB=sin rAB*µ12 [from diagram rAB=15°]
=> iAB=sin-1(sin 15)
