The experiment aims to investigate how the angle of deviation depends on the angle of incidence using a hollow prism filled with different transparent fluids. The procedure involves marking angles on a drawing board, using a prism, and measuring the angles of deviation for various liquids. Results indicate that as the angle of incidence increases, the angle of deviation initially decreases to a minimum before increasing again.

EXPERIMENT TO PROVE THE DEPENDENCE OF

ANGLE OF DEVIATION ON ANGLE OF INCIDENCE

AIM: To investigate the dependence of the angle of


deviation on the angle of incidence using a hollow prism
filled with different transparent fluids.

APPARATUS REQUIRED: Drawing board, white sheets of


paper prism drawing pins, pencil, half meter scale,
thump pins, graph papers and a protractor

THEORY: The bending of ray of light when it passes from


one medium to another is called refraction of light.

Fig: Refraction through hollow glass prism filled with


transparent liquid with different angles of deviation.
PROCEDURE:

1.A white sheet of paper was fixed on the drawing


board with the help of drawing pins.
2.A straight line XX' parallel to the length of the paper
was drawn nearly in the middle of the paper.
3. Points Q 1,Q2, Q3 and Q4 were marked on the
straight line XX' at suitable distances of about 6cm.
4.Normals N1Q1, N2Q2, N3Q3, N4Q4, etc. were
drawn on points Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, etc.
5.Straight lines R1Q1, R2Q2, R3Q3, R4Q4, etc. were
drawn making angles of 30°, 35°, 40°… 60°
respectively with the normals.
6. One corner of the prism was marked as A and it was
taken as the edge of the prism for all the observations.
7.Prism with its refracting face AB was put in the line
XX and point Q1 was put in the middle of AB.
8. The boundary of the prism was marked.
9. Two pins P₁ and P 2 were fixed vertically on the line
R1Q1 and the distance between the pins were about
2cm.
10. The images of points P1 and P2 were looked
through face AC and these steps were repeated for
other points.

OBSERVATION: Table for angle of incidence(∠i) and


angle of deviation(δ) for various transparent liquids are
mentioned in the table below.
S.No. ∠i Angle of Deviation (in °)
Water Glycerine Turpentine
Oil
1 30° 25 45 26
2 35° 22 39 25
3 40° 20 38 25
4 45° 22 38 26
5 50° 25 40 27
6 55° 27 44 28
7 60° 28 48 28
CALCULATIONS:
Graphs are plotted between the angle of incidence
and angle of deviation (D) taking i along x- axis and δ
along y-axis for all the three transparent liquids. The
three graphs come to be curve as shown in figure.
From the graph plotted between angle of incidence
and angle of deviation for various transparent liquids
as it is clear that angle of deviation of angle of
incidence given transparent liquid.
The graph between I & δ indicates that as angle of
incidence i, increases angle of deviation δ first
decreases and attains a minimum value and then
again starts increasing far further increase in angle of
incidence i.
