Question

List the factors on which the angle of deviation through a prism depend?(All India - 2013)

Answer 1

Explanation:

The deviation angle in a prism depends upon: Refractive index of the prism: The refractive index depends on the material and the wavelength of the light. The larger the refractive index, the larger the deviation angle. Angle of the prism: The larger the prism angle, the larger the deviation angle.
