What do you understand by the deviation produced by a prism? Why is it caused?
Two isosceles right-angle glass prisms P and Q are placed near each other as shown in Fig. Complete the path of the light ray entering the prism P till it emerges out of the prism Q.
A ray of light incident at an angle of incidence ‘i’ passes through an equilateral glass prism such that the refracted ray inside the prism is parallel to its base and emerges from the prism at an angle of emergence ‘e’.
How is the angle of emergence ‘e’ related to the angle of incidence ‘i’?

Answer the following question.
Under what conditions are total internal reflection possible? Explain it with a suitable example.
State the condition under which total internal reflection occurs. Give the mathematical expression for total internal reflection.
- Assertion (A): Propagation of light through an optical fibre is due to total internal reflection taking place at the core-cladding interface.
- Reason (R): Refractive index of the material of the cladding of the optical fibre is greater than that of the core.
