    The experiment aimed to determine the angle of minimum deviation for a glass prism by plotting a graph of angle of incidence versus angle of deviation. The apparatus included a drawing board, paper, glass prism, pins, and geometry box. According to the theory, the angle of deviation equals the sum of the angle of incidence and angle of emergence minus the angle of the prism. Data was recorded for various angles of incidence and deviation and plotted on a graph, from which the angle of minimum deviation was determined to be 40 degrees.

    Aim of the Experiment: To determine the angle of minimum deviation for a given glass prism by plotting a graph

    between the angle of incidence and angle of deviation.

    Apparatus required:

    1. Drawing board 4. Board pins


    2. White paper sheet 5. Drawing pins
    3. Triangular glass prism 6. Geometry box

    Theory:

    δ = (i – r’) + (e – r’)
    = (i + e) – A

    Ray diagram:

    Tabulation:

    Sl. No. Angle of incidence Angle of deviation


    (i) (δ)
    1 32° 46°
    2 35° 43°
    3 40° 40°
    4 45° 42°
    5 50° 46°
    6 55° 48°

    Conclusion: The angle of minimum deviation of the given glass prism was found to be 40°
