Expert Answer
Fig.(1) shows the ray incident on face AB of right angled prism will incident on diagonal face with critical angle.
Let i, r and C are incident, refraction and crictical angle respectively.
from geometry, (90-r)+(90-c)+45 = 180 or r = 45-C ..................(1)
For critical angle , sinC is reciprocal of refractive index, hence sinC = n1 /n ......(2)
At face AB, we have , sin i = n×sin r ...................(3)
using (1) and (2), eqn.(3) can be written as sin i = n×sin(45-C) = (n/√2)[ cosC - sinC ] =
hence incident angle i =
---------------------------------------------
Fig(2) shows the ray incident on face AB of right angled prisim will incident normally on diagonal face and emerges without any refraction.
By geometry, it can be worked out easily that angle of refraction at face AB is 45
hence we have, sin i = n×sin r = ( 1.352 / √2 ) = 0.956 ≈ 73°
