A ray of light is incident in air at an angle of 40° to the normal to one face of a 60° glass prism.
Calculate the angle through which the ray has been deviated by the time it emerges from the prism.
Angle of prism
Angle of incidence
Let angle of deviation be
As we know
Using snell's law-
Refractive index
Angle of deviation is given by-
