Q.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from (i) to (v):

A prism is a transparent refractive medium bounded by two plane surfaces inclined to each other at a certain angle. The refraction of light through a prism follows the laws of refraction. In the prism, refraction takes place on its refracting surface i.e., entrance and exit. The refraction through a prism is shown in the figure. Here, A is the angle of the prism, ∠i is the angle of incidence on the face AB, and ∠e is the angle of emergence at another face AC. The incident ray suffers a deviation or bending through an angle delta due to the refraction through the prism. This angle is called the angle of deviation as shown in the figure.

(iii) When a ray is refracted through a prism, then:

1 i = δ  
2 i = e + δ  
3 δ = e  
4 i > r
