Refraction of Light Through a Glass Prism Experiment

Visual arts and art education3.01 KB

Aim: Refraction Through a Glass Prism

Materials Required

  • A drawing board
  • A few drawing pins or cello-tape
  • A glass prism
  • A few sharp-pointed all-pins
  • Three sheets of white paper
  • A measuring scale
  • A pencil and a protractor

Theory

1. Let ABC be the principal section of a glass prism with a refractive index ‘n’. The angle ‘A’ is the refracting angle of the prism.

2. When a ray of light PQ from a rarer medium is incident on a refracting surface AB, it gets refracted and bends towards the normal to the plane face of AB. Here, the ray of light is entering from air to glass and is refracted along QR.

3. In the figure:

  • PQ – Incident ray
  • QR – Refracted ray
  • RS – Emergent ray
  • ∠i – Angle of incidence
  • ∠e – Angle of emergence
  • ∠A – Angle of prism
  • ∠r
