ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to owe the sense of
gratitude to our physics teacher
Mrs. for her consistent guidance,
support and encouragement
without which this project would
not able to exist in present shape.

THEORY
PRISM: 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. Prisms can
also be used to reflect light, or to split light
into components with different polarizations.

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 appears 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.

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.
