Practicing Success
When a ray of light passes through a thin walled hollow glass prism of thickness t and refractive index 1.5.which one is wrong? |
the angular deviation is equal to zero maximum deviation takes places no dispersion takes place Lateral shift is equal to 2t/3 |
maximum deviation takes places |
When a ray of light passes through a glass slab of uniform thickness the incident ray is parallel to the imergent ray. Therefore no angular deviation takes place. We know that the ray of light when passing through a thin walled glass suffers a lateral shift $x = t(1-\frac{1}{μ})=t(1-\frac{1}{1.5})=\frac{t}{3}$ |
