Question

We have a right-angled isosceles prism. Its refracting index is 1.5. If a ray is incident normally on one of the two perpendicular surfaces which of the following phenomena will take place?    

Solution

Correct option is

Total internal reflection

 

Critical angle will be

                       

The angle of incidence inside the prism will be 45o. This angle is more than the critical angle, hence the light ray will undergo total internal reflection.
