Explain how spectrum is formed.
The following diagram shows a 60°, 30°, 90° glass prism of critical angle 42°, Copy the diagram and complete the path of incident ray AB emerging out of the prism marking the angle of incidence on each surface.
Draw diagrams to show the refraction of light from
- air to glass, and
- glass to air. In each diagram, label the incident ray, refracted ray, the angle of incidence
- and the angle of refraction (r).
How is the refractive index of a medium related to the speed of light in it?
Light of a single colour is passed through a liquid having a piece of glass suspended in it. On changing the temperature of liquid, at a particular temperature the glass piece is not seen. When is the glass piece not seen?
How is the angle of emergence related to the angle of incidence when prism is in the position of minimum deviation? Illustrate your answer with help of a labelled diagram using an equilateral prism?
A total reflecting equilateral prism can be used to deviate a ray of light through:
A ray of light passes from water to air. How does the speed of light change?
Express the refractive index μ of a medium in terms of the velocity of light.
What do you understand by the deviation produced by a prism?
