To trace the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab for different angles
incidence, Measure the angle of incidence, angle of refraction and angle of emergence and
the result.
Materials Requried
A rectangular glass slab, pins, drawing paper, drawing board, geometry box.
Basic Concept
@ When any ray of light from one optical medium enters secon
id optical medium, the ray of li
deviates (either towards the normal or away from the normal) from its normal path. Such deviation
light ray is called refraction,
W the light ray enters a denser medium, it bends towards the normal (i > Zr) because light
slower in the denser medium.
© The phenomenon due to which a ra
of light deviates from its path, while travelling from one optic
medium to another optical mediui
im is called refraction of light.
© Snell's laws of refraction states that :
{@) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal at the point of incidence, all lie in the
plane,
(b) The ratio of the sine of angle of incidence tot
two given media of different optical densit
with respect to the first medium.

and CD is called lateral displacement.

Result
1. As the difference between the angle of incidence and angle of emergence is within the
experiment limits, i.e. + 1°, therefore :
(a) Angle of refraction is less than angle of incidence when the rays of light travel from the rarer to
the denser medium.
(b) Angle of incidence = Angle of emergence.
(c) Incident ray is parallel to the emergent ray.
(d) With the increase in the angle of incidence, the angle of refraction increases.

Aim
To trace the path of the ray of light through a glass prism.
Materials Required
A white sheet of paper, glass prism, drawing paper, pins, drawing board, graphpaper, geometry box,
Basic Concept
Any transparent material (generally glass), bounded by two triangular surfaces and three rectang
Surfaces is called prism. Factors affecting the deviation are : Angle of the Prims, its material and
of incidence.
Theory
A prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. Prism
obeys laws of refraction like a rectangular glass slab. It is made up of
transparent refracting material. Generally, angle of prism is 60°.
When a ray of light passes through a glass prism, the emergent rays
bend towards the base. Angle in between incident ray and emergent ray
is called angle of deviation which is not constant and depends upon
angle of incident, but it is angle of minimum deviation and is usually ®
definite.
Procedure
1. Spread a drawing paper on drawing board and
place a prism in the middle of the paper with
‘one triangular face as base.
2. Mark the outline of the prism namely ABC.
3. Remove the prism and draw an oblique line PQ
inclined with face AB, PQ will represent
incident ray. Replace the prism on its outline
ABC.
4. Fix two pins P, and P, on line PQ in vertical
position.
5. Set your eye on the side AC and observe the
images of P, and P, as seen through the prism.
Coincide the images of P, and P,.
