quarter of AB.
iii. Draw the normal KLQ.
iv. Draw a line ML making an angle i =20° with the line KL
v. Find two pins P1 and P2
vi. Replace the block and fix the other two pins P3 and P4 such that the
pins appear to be in a straight line with the image of the P1 and P2
when viewed through the side DC of the prism
vii. Remove the block and join the point P4 and P3 producing the line to
meet DC at Z and LQ at N
viii. Join LZ, measure and record the length of LZ and NZ
ix. Repeat the procedure with i= 30°,40°,50°,60° respectively, in each case
measure and record the corresponding length of LZ and NZ
x. Tabulate your readings
xi. Plot the graph of NZ against LZ, Starting both axes from the origin
xii. Calculate the slope S of the graph, Evaluate ղ=1/S
xiii. State two precautions taken, attach your tracings to the booklet.
xiv. Sketch a diagram to show the path of a ray through a glass block when
the angle of incidence i =90°
