    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    I would like to express my special thanks of


    gratitude to my teacher Mrs. Meenakshi
    Sharma as well as our principal Mrs. Anita
    Sharma who gave me the golden opportunity
    to do this wonderful project on the topic “To
    find out the refractive indices of different
    liquids using a hollow prism” and also
    helped me in doing a lot of research.

    INTRODUCTION
    In optics, a prism is a transparent optical
    element with flat, polished surfaces that
    refract light. The exact angles between the
    surfaces depend on the application. The
    traditional geometrical shape is that of a
    triangular prism with a triangular base and
    rectangular sides, and in colloquial use
    “prism”

    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 colours.
    Prisms can also 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:

    ( A+ D)
    sin
    sin i 2
    μ= =
    sin r A
    sin ⁡( )
    2

    where,
    U = refractive index of the liquid.
    A = the angle of minimum deviation
    d = 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.
     Repeat this with different liquids and
    different angle of incidence.

    OBSERVATION

    prism) incidence) deviation)

    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 and incident ray.
