Two monochromatic rays light are incident normally on the face of an isosceles rightangled prism . The refractive indices of the glass prism for the two rays ' 1 ' and ' 2 ' are respectively 1.35 and 1.45 . Trace the path of these rays after entering through the prism.
Solution:
Critical angle of ray ' 1 ':
Similarly, critical angle of ray '2':
Similarly, critical angle of ray '2':
Ray ' 1 ' and ' 2 ' will fall on the side AC at an angle of incidence (i) of . Critical angle of ray ' 1 ' is greater than , so it will get refracted from the prism. Critical angle of ray ' 2 ' is less than that of , so it will undergo total internal reflection.
