This is to certify that Shubham Kumar

student of class XII " A"; Loyola High
School has completed the project on
TO INVESTIGATE THE
DEPENDENCE OF THE ANGLE OF
DEVIATION, ON THE ANGLE OF
INCIDENCE, USING HOLLOW PRISM
FILLED, ONE BY ONE, WITH
DIFFERENT TRANSPARENT FLUIDS"
during the academic year 2018 - 2019
towards partial fulfillment of credit
for the Physics Practical examination
of AISSCE 2018 - 2019, under
my
supervision.
 EXPERIMENT
AIM:
To investigate the dependence of the angle of
deviation, on the angle of incidence, using hollow
prism filled, one by one, with different transparent
luids.

MATERIALS REOUIRED:
" Drawing sheet
" Drawing board
" Board pins
"A hollow glass prism
" Different transparent Iiquid
THEORY:
PRISM:A prism is a portion of transparent medíum
bonded by two plane faces inclined to each other at a
suitable angle. The angle A between them is the
refracting angle or the angle of prism.
A section ABC made by the plane at right
angles to the refracting edge of the prism is called the
principal section of the prism.
Some terms related to topics are:
REFRACTION: The phenomenon of bending
of light from its straight line path on the surface
of soparation of two optical media is known as
retraction of light.
>LAWS OF REFRACTION:
1.FIRST LAW: Incident ray,normal and the
point of incidence and refractive ray are co
planer Le., all lie in the same plane.

2. SECOND LAW: The ratio of sine of 4and

xis always constant.
sin i /sinr'

REFRACTTVE INDEX ():It is defined

as the ratio of velocity of light in vacuum to that
of in any medium.
cr
>ANGLE OF INCIDENCE: The angle
between the incident ray and the normal ray.
ANGLE OF DEVIATION; The angle
between the incident ray and the emergent ray
is called the angle of deviation, denoted by 8.
> MINIMUMDEVIATION; Minúmum value of it
angle of deviation suffered by a light ray when
passes through a prism it is known as minimum
angle Of deviation.
DISPERSION: The phenomenon of splitting of
ray
white light into its constituent colours when light
passes through the prism is called dispersion of light.

Aray of light sutfers refraction twice on passing through
aprism hence devlate through a certain angle from its
original path.

CALCULATION OF ANGLE OF DEVIATION

In the given figure, ABC is a principal section ofPQ
a
prism with angle Aas angle of prism. Aray of light is
incident on the face of ABof the prism at Liit bends
towards the normal N,O and fs refracted along QRat
LrnThe refracted ray QR is incident at cry on the face AC of
the prism It bends away from the normal N,O and
emerges along RS at i In passing through the prism, ray
PS suffers refraction twice and deviates through zLMN= 6,
which is the angle of deviation.
