Aim
To find out the refractive indices of different liquids using a
hollow prism
Apparatus Required
Hollow glass prism
Various liquids like water, carbon disulphide, benzaldehyde
etc.
Bell pins
Drawing board
Theory
A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished
surfaces that refract light. Prisms can be
made from any material that is transparent including glass,
plastic and fluorite. A prism can be used to break light up into its
constituent spectral colors. Prisms can also be used to reflect
light, or to split light into components with different
polarizations.
Procedure
Place the prism filled with given sample of liquid ,on the
marked outline ABC.
Now take the pins and place them on the side AC so that all
the 4 pins appear to be in same line.
Remove the prism and draw the line joining the points so
obtained.
