प्रश्न
What do you understand by the deviation produced by a prism?

उत्तर
When a ray of light passes through a prism, it bends towards the base of the prism. Thus, the path of the emergent ray differs from the path of the incident ray. This is called the deviation produced by a prism.

A ray of monochromatic light is incident from air into a glass slab. Draw a labelled ray diagram indicating the change in its path till it emerges out of the slab. In the diagram, mark the angle of incidence (i) and the angle of refraction (r) at the first interface. How is the refractive index of glass related to the angles i and r?
