It depends on

(a) the angle of incidence, and

(b) the relative refractive indices of the slabs as well as the medium on either side of them and between them.

Why does the angle of deviation of a prism decreases first and then increases?

As the angle of incidence is increased, angle of deviation 'd' decreases and reaches minimum value. If the angle of incidence is further increased, the angle of deviation is increased. Let dm be the angle of minimum deviation. The refracted ray in the prism in that case will be parallel to the base.


Do light passing through a prism have a maximum deviation?

Yes, light passing through a prism has a maximum deviation angle which occurs at a specific angle called the angle of minimum deviation. This angle depends on the material and shape of the prism.


Why should you keep the prism in minimum deviation position?

f a line is drawn parallel to the angle of incidence axis (X-axis), it cuts the graph at two points, showing that there are two values of angle of incidence for an angle of deviation. However, at the point of angle of minimum deviation, the line will be tangent to the curve showing that for minimum angle of deviation there is only one angle of incidence.


How is angle of prism and angle of deviation related?

angle of deviation = angle of prism x ( refractice index -1)


What is the formula for calculating the angle of deviation in a prism?

The formula for calculating the angle of deviation in a prism is: Angle of Deviation (Refractive index of the prism - 1) x Prism angle.


What is the definition of angle of minimum deviation for prism?

The angle of minimum deviation for a prism is the angle at which the deviation of light passing through the prism is minimized, resulting in the least amount of dispersion. It is the angle at which the emerging light beam is least deviated from its original path after passing through the prism.


What happens when a light ray passes through a focal point and then passes through a covex mirror?

When a light ray passes through a focal point of a convex mirror, it will reflect parallel to the principal axis. This is because the reflected ray follows the law of reflection, where the incident angle is equal to the reflection angle.


What happens when light passes through the prism in wrong angle?

There is no 'wrong angle' - it either passes through the prism or it doesn't. The blue or violet waves will be the most diffracted.


The term angle of deviation is used in referance to?

The term angle of deviation is used in reference to a prism.


Does the angle of minimum deviation depend upon the colour of light used?

Yes, the angle of minimum deviation does depend on the color of light used. This is because different colors of light have different wavelengths, which can lead to variations in how light is refracted when passing through a prism, causing the angle of minimum deviation to differ for each color.


What is the formula for finding the lateral displacement of an incident ray when it passes through a glass slab?

The lateral displacement (D) of an incident ray passing through a glass slab can be calculated using the formula D = t * sin(i - r), where t is the thickness of the glass slab, i is the angle of incidence, and r is the angle of refraction. This formula takes into account the deviation of the ray as it passes through the glass slab.


What is the angle bisector of 146 degree?

It is a straight line which passes through the vertex of the angle and divides it into halves.
