Q. Draw the path of a ray of light passing through a triangular glass prism. Label the angle of incidence and the angle of deviation in the ray-diagram.

After tracing the path of a ray of light through a glass prism a student marked the angle of incidence ( $∠$ i), angle of refraction ( $∠$ r) angle of emergence ( $∠$ e) and the angle of deviation ( $∠$ D) as shown in the diagram. The correctly marked angles are:

Q. Explain the refraction of light through a triangular glass prism using a labelled ray diagram. Hence, define the angle of deviation.

Q. A student traces the path of a ray of light through a triangular glass prism for different values of angle of incidence. On analysing the ray diagrams, which one of the following conclusions is he likely to draw?
(a) The emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray.
(b) The emergent ray bends at an angle to the direction of the incident ray.
(c) The emergent ray and the refracted ray are at right angles to each other.
(d) The emergent ray is perpendicular to the incident ray.
