To determine angle of minimum deviation for a given prism by plotting a graph between angle of
incidence and angle of deviation.
Apparatus Required :-
1. Prism
2. Geometry box
3. Hair pin -4
4. Drawing board
6. Graph paper
Theory :-
Angle of incidence :- The angle between incident ray and the normal at the point of incidence is called
angle of incidence.
Angle of deviation :- The angle between incident ray and emergent ray is called angle of deviation. It is
denoted by (δ).
The minimum value of the angle of deviation is called angle of minimum deviation.
Graph and Calculation :- we have plotted a graph taking i in x-axis and δ in y-axis. The minimum
angle of deviation is found to be __ in degree.
Conclusion :- from the above experiment it is concluded that the angle of minimum deviation of
prism is found to be __ • from graph between angle of incidence and angle of deviation.
