Refractive index of prism = μ = 1.5


Angle of prism =A =


We know that;

Angle of minimum deviation is given by =


(For small angles


⇒


⇒


⇒


So, the angle of deviation =.

A container contains water up to a height of 20 cm and there is a point source at the center of the bottom of the container. A rubber ring of radius r floats centrally on the water surface. The ceiling of the room is 2.0 m above the water surface.

(a) Find the radius of the shadow of the ring formed on the ceiling if r = 15 cm.


(b) Find the maximum value of r for which the shadow of the ring is formed on the ceiling. Refractive index of water = 4/3.
