Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

  1. A ray of light is incident at an angle of incidence, i, on one face of prism of angle A (assumed to be small)  and emerges normally from the opposite face. If the refractive index of the prism is µ, the angle of incidence i, is nearly equal to :​​
    1. µA
    2. µA
      2
    3. A
      µ
    4. A
Correct Option: A

For normally emerge e = 0 ​
Therefore r2 = 0 and r1 = A ​
Snell’s Law for Incident ray’s ​
1sin i = µ sin r1 = µsin A ​
For small angle ​i = µA
