A ray PQ incident normally on the refracting face BA is refracted in the prism BAC made of material of refractive index 1.5. Complete the path of ray through the prism. From which face will the ray emerge ? Justify your answer.

Solution

Here,
sin ic2 over 3 space equals space 0.66
rightwards double arrow space sin space 30 to the power of straight o space equals space 0.5

space space space space space space space space straight i subscript straight c space greater than space 30 to the power of straight o

The light will emerge out from face AC.
