प्रश्न
In the given figure, a ray of light PQ is incident normally on the face AB of an equilateral glass prism. Complete the ray diagram showing its emergence into air after passing through the prism. Take critical angle for glass = 42°.
- Write the angles of incidence at the faces AB and AC of the prism.
- Name the phenomenon which the ray of light suffers at the face AB, AC and BC of the prism.

उत्तर
- At the face AB, i = 0° and at the face AC, i = 60°
- The phenomenon remains unchanged at face AB. Ray QR is incident at 60° > critical angle at face AC.
AC - Total internal reflection at the face, BC - Refraction and ray ST are undeviated.
