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
