A student has to trace the path of a ray of light through a glass prism. List four precautions he should observe for better results.
Answer
Keep the prism fixed, fix the pins vertically, keep the angle of incidence between and and the pins 5 cm apart.
Any four of the following:
(i) Keep the prism exactly within its traced boundary throughout the experiment; do not move it.
(ii) Fix the pins vertically, and look at the feet of the pins (not their heads) while aligning them.
(iii) Keep the angle of incidence between and .
(iv) Keep the two pins on each side at least 5 cm apart.
(v) Use the protractor correctly, measuring the angles from the normal, and draw thin lines with a sharp pencil.
