Question

A ray OP of monochromatic light is incident on the face AB of prism ABCD near vertex B at an incident angle of 60° (see figure). If the refractive index of the material of the prism is  3, which of the following is (are) correct? 

The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is 90°

The ray gets totally internally reflected at face CD

The ray comes out through face AD

The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is 120°

Solution

90° + 60° + 75° + x = 360°

x = 360° – 225° = 135°

 sinθc=13=1.7323=.58

 sin45°=12

sin30°=12=.5dxx2+a2

 3sin30°=1sinθ

 sinθ=32       θ=60º
