Question: Q. 2. A ray of light incident at an angle $\theta$ on a refracting face of a prism emerges from the other face normally. If the angle of the prism is $5^{\circ}$ and the prism is made of a material of refractive index 1.5, the angle of incidence is : (a) $7.5^{\circ}$. (b) $5^{\circ}$. (c) $15^{\circ}$. (d) $2.5^{\circ}$.

Solution:

Ans. Correct option : (a)

Explanation : Given that,

$$ \begin{aligned} A & =5^{\circ} \ \mu & =1.5 \ i_{2} & =0^{\circ} \ r_{2} & =0^{\circ} \end{aligned} $$

As we know that,

$$ \begin{aligned} r_{1}+r_{2} & =A \ r_{1} & =A-r_{2} \ & =5-0=5^{\circ} \end{aligned} $$

From Snell’s law :

$$ \begin{aligned} \mu & =\frac{\sin i_{1}}{\sin r_{1}} \ \sin i_{1} & =\mu \sin r_{1} \ & =1.5 \times \sin 5^{\circ} \ & =1.5 \times 0.087 \ & =0.1305 \ & =7.5^{\circ} \end{aligned} $$
