Optics 4 Question 5

5. Monochromatic light is incident on a glass prism of angle A. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is μ, a ray incident at an angle θ, on the face AB would get transmitted through the face AC of the prism provided

(2015 Main)

(a) θ<cos1μsinA+sin11μ

(b) θ<sin1μsinAsin11μ

(c) θ>cos1μsinA+sin11μ

(d) θ>sin1μsinAsin11μ

Show Answer

Solution:

Applying Snell’s law at M,

μ=sinθsinr1r1=sin1sinθμ or sinr1=sinθμ

Now, r2=Ar1=Asin1sinθμ

Ray of light would get transmitted form face AC if

r2<θc or Asin1sinθμ<θc

where,

θc=sin11μ

sin1sinθμ>Aθc

 or sinθμ>sin(Aθc)θ>sin1[μsin(Aθc)] or θ>sin1μsinAsin11μ
