Prism
Question

A ray is incident at an angle of incidence i on one surface of a prism of small angle A and emerges normally from the opposite surface. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is μ, the angle of incidence i is nearly equal to

Moderate
Solution

 Since the ray emerges normally, therefore  e=0.
 According to relation A+δ=i+e, we get i=A+δ  Hence by δ=(μ1)A, we get i=μA
