In given figure, a light ray AB is incident normally on one face PQ of an equilateral glass prism.
Find out the angles at faces PQ and PR.
Angle of incidence, i = 0o
Angle of refraction, r = sin(i)×n
Where n = refractive index
So, r1 = 0o
Where,
r1 = angle of refraction at PQ
r2 = angle of incidence from inside on side PR
A = angle of prism
We know that
A = r1 + r2
r2 = A – r1
= 60o – 0o
= 60o
