Q.

An equilateral glass prism kept on a table has refractive index μ=2 . The prism is  illuminated by a narrow laser beam of power p0  and the wavelength  λ such that  refracted beam inside the prism is parallel to the base of prism. The change in weight  of the prism due to the incident laser beam is  n2P0C [C is speed of light] Find n.

Detailed Solution

The prism is in the minimum deviation position hence angle of incidence is 45 .
Change in momentum of a photon is2Pcos15  in the vertically downward direction force  on the prism  F=(ΔP)numberofphotonstime
F=2P0Ccos15 . Hence  n=1.866
