ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The successful completion of any task would be


incomplete without mentioning the names of those
persons who helped to make it possible. I take this
opportunity to express my
gratitude in few words and respect to all those who helped
me in the completion of this project. It is my humble
pleasure to acknowledge my deep senses of gratitude to
my Physics Teacher , Mr.S.K.Parida for his valuable
support, constant help and guidance at each and every
stage, without which this project would not have come
forth.
I also register my sense of gratitude to our principal,
Mr.S.K.Dash, for his immense encouragement that has
made this project successful
I would also like to thank my friends and family for
encouraging me during the course of this project.
Last, but not the least, I would like to thank CBSE for
giving chance to undertake this project.

Aim
To find out the refractive indices of different liquids
using a hollow prism.

Apparatus Required
Hollow glass prism
Various liquids like water,carbon
disulphide,benzaldehyde etc.
Bell pins
Drawing board
Theory
A prism is a transparent optical element with
flat, polished surfaces that refract light.
Prisms can be made from any material that
is transparent including glass, plastic and
fluorite. A prism can be used to break light
up into its constituent spectral colors.Prism
can be used to reflect light,or to split light
into components with different
polarizations. The refractive index of the
Liquid is given by the formula:
=sini/sinr=sin((A+d)/2)/sin(A/2)
Where,
=refractive index of the liquid.
d= the angle of minimum deviation
A=angle of prism
i=angle of incidence &
r=angle of refraction
Procedure
Fix a white sheet of paper on the drawing board with help
of drawing pins.
Keep the prism and mark the outline of it as ABC.
Drop a normal PQ on the side AB.
Draw the angle of incidence in accordance with the normal
PQ and place 2 pins so that they appear to be in
the straight line.
Place the prism filled with given sample of liquid ,on the
marked outline ABC.
Now take the pins and place them on the side AC so that all
the 4 pins appear to be in same line.
Remove the prism and draw the line joining the points so
obtained.
Mark the diagram as shown in the figure

Conclusion

Refractive indices at room temperature:-

Benzaldehyde
Actual :- 1.546
Experimental :- 1.504

Water
Actual :- 1.33
Experimental:- 1.306

Dil. Sulphuric Acid


Actual :- 1.355
Experimental :- 1.351
Precautions
Angle of incidence should lie b/w 35-60
degree.
Pins should be vertically fixed and should lie
in same line.
Distance b/w two points should not be less than
10mm.
Same angle of prism should be used for all
observation.
Arrow head should be marked to represent emergent

andincident ray.
