Draw the graph of deviation angle $(\delta)$ versus incidence angle $(i)$ and derive the formula for refractive index $n_{21}=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{A+D_m}{2}\right)}{\sin \left(\frac{A}{2}\right)}$ for the material of prism.

$\rightarrow$ The graph of deviation angle versus incidence angle is shown in figure.
$\rightarrow$ The graph shows that for a single value of deviation angle $(\delta)$ there are two values of incidence angle $i$ and hence also of $e$.
$\rightarrow$ From the symmetry it can be said that angle of deviation $\delta$ remains the same if angle of incidence $i$ and angle of emergent $e$ are interchanged.
Even if the path of ray can be traced back, resulting in the same angle of deviation.
$\rightarrow$ From the graph, for a particular value of $i=e$ the angle of incidence, a single value of deviation is obtained.
At the minimum deviation, $D _m,$ the refracted ray becomes parallel to its base.
$\rightarrow$ So when $\delta= D _m$ and $i=e$, then $r_1=r_2$.
$\rightarrow$ For prism, $ A =r_1+r_2$
$\therefore A =2 r_1$
$\therefore r_1 =\frac{ A }{2}......(1)$
$\rightarrow$ and from $\delta=i+e- A$,
$ D _m=2 i- A$
$2 i= D _m+ A$
$i=\frac{ A + D _m}{2}......(2)$
$\rightarrow$ Applying Snell's law at incident point $Q ,$
$n_1 \sin i=n_2 \sin r_1$
$\rightarrow$ Substituting value of $r_1$ and $i$ from equation $(1)$ and $(2),$
$\therefore n_1 \sin \left(\frac{ A + D _m}{2}\right)=n_2 \sin \left(\frac{ A }{2}\right)$
$\therefore \frac{n_2}{n_1}=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{ A + D _m}{2}\right)}{\sin \frac{ A }{2}}$
$\therefore n_{21}=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{ A + D _m}{2}\right)}{\sin \frac{ A }{2}}$
$\rightarrow$ which is the formula to find the refractive index of the material of the prism.

A solenoid is a long coil of wire tightly wound in the helical form. Solenoid consists of closely stacked rings electrically insulated from each other wrapped around a non-conducting cylinder.
Figure below shows the magnetic field lines of a solenoid carrying a steady current I. We see that if the turns are closely spaced, the resulting magnetic field inside the solenoid becomes fairly uniform, provided that the length of the solenoid is much greater than its diameter. for an "ideal" solenoid, which is infinitely long with turns tightly packed, the magnetic field inside the solenoid is uniform and parallel to the axis, and vanishes outside the solenoid.

When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. TI1is phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident tight and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity. $(\text{h}\upsilon-\phi)$ is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons (where $\phi$ is the work function of metallic surface). Reverse effect of photo emission produces X-ray. X-ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous X-ray depends on potential difference across the tube. Wavelength of characteristic X-ray depends on the atomic number.

  1. $\text{E}_\text{max}=\text{h}\upsilon-\phi$
  2. $\text{E}=\text{mc}^2$
  3. $\text{E}^2=\text{p}^2\text{c}^2+\text{m}_0^2\text{c}^4$
