Ray Optics: Prism Refraction & Telescopes

The document discusses several topics related to ray optics including: 1. Refraction through a prism and the expression for calculating the refractive index of a prism. 2. Dispersion, angular dispersion, and dispersive power which relate to how light disperses through a prism. 3. How the blue color of the sky and red color of the sun are due to dispersion of light through air molecules. 4. The compound microscope and astronomical telescope, including their normal adjustments and how images are formed. 5. The Newtonian telescope, which is a type of reflecting telescope.

B C Prism

Refracting Surfaces
In quadrilateral APOQ,
From (1) and (2),
A + O = 180° …….(1) A = r 1 + r2
(since N1 and N2 are normal) From (3),
In triangle OPQ, δ = (i + e) – (A)

r1 + r2 + O = 180° …….(2) or i+e=A+δ


In triangle DPQ,
δ = (i - r1) + (e - r2) Sum of angle of incidence and angle
of emergence is equal to the sum of
δ = (i + e) – (r1 + r2) …….(3) angle of prism and angle of deviation.
Variation of angle of deviation with angle of incidence:

When angle of incidence increases,


δ
the angle of deviation decreases.
At a particular value of angle of incidence
the angle of deviation becomes minimum
and is called ‘angle of minimum deviation’.
δm
At δm, i=e and r1 = r2 = r (say) 0 i=e i
After minimum deviation, angle of deviation
increases with angle of incidence.
Refractive Index of Material of Prism:
A = r1 + r2 According to Snell’s law,
A = 2r sin i sin i
μ= =
r=A/2 sin r1 sin r

i+e=A+δ (A + δm)
sin
2 i = A + δm 2
μ=
A
i = (A + δm) / 2 sin
