उत्तर
A ray of light incident at an angle θ on a refracting face of a prism emerges from the other face normally. If the angle of the prism is 5° and the prism is made of a material of refractive index 1.5, the angle of incidence is 7.5°.
Explanation:
In thin prisms, the distance between the refracting surfaces is ineligible and the angle of prism (A) is very small. Since A = r1 + r2, therefore if A is small then both r1 and r2 are also small, and the same is true for i1 and i2.
A = 5°
μ = 1.5
i2 = 0°
r2 = 0°
r1 + r2 = A
r1 = A - r2 = 5 – 0 = 5°
μ = `(sini1)/(sinrlμ) = (sinil)/(sinrl)`
⇒ `sini1 = μsinr1`
= `1.5 xx sin 5°`
= 1.5 xx 0.087`
= 0.1305
= 7.5°

Swarali has got the following observations while doing an experiment. Answer her questions with the help of observations.
Swarali observed that the light bent away from the normal, while travelling from dense medium to rarer medium. When Swarali increased the values of angle of incidence (i), the values of angle of refraction (r) went on increasing. But at a certain angle of incidence, the light rays returned into the dense medium.
So, Swarali has some questions. Answer them –
a) Name this certain value of ‘i ’. What is the value of ‘r’ at that time ?
b) Name this process of returning of light in dense medium. Explain the process.
Solve the previous problem if the paperweight is inverted at its place so that the spherical surface touches the paper.
The observation made by Swarali while doing the experiment is given below. Based on these write answers to the questions:
Swarali found that the light ray travelling from the denser medium to rarer medium goes away from the normal. If the angle of incidence (i) is raised by Swarali, the angle of refraction (r) went on increasing. However, after certain value of the angle of incidence the light ray is seen to return back into the denser medium.

- What is the process of reflection of incident rays into denser medium called?
- Draw the diagrams of three observations made by Swarali.
