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:
U=sin(i)/sin(r)=sin((a+d)/2)/sin(a/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
1. Fix a white sheet of paper on the
drawing board with help of drawing
pins.
2. Keep the prism and mark the outline
of it as ABC.
3. Drop a normal PQ on the side AB.
4. 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.
5. Place the prism filled with given
sample of liquid on the marked
outline ABC.
6. Now take the pins and place them on
the side AC so that all the 4 pins
appear to be in same line.
7. Remove the prism and draw the line
joining the points so obtained.
8. Mark the diagram as shown in the
figure.
9. Repeat this with different liquids and
different angle of incidence.

Observation
 Benzaldehyde

S.no a º(angle of
prism)
i º (angle of
incidence)
d º (angle of
deviation)

2 60 35 42
3 60 37.5 40
4 60 39 42
5 60 40 45

U = sin ((60+40)/2)/sin(30)
= 1.504

s.no a º(angle of pri i º (angle of incidence) d º (angle of deviation)

2 60 35 22
3 60 40 20
4 60 45 22
5 60 50 25
6 60 55 28
U = sin ((60+22)/2)/sin(30)
= 1.306

 Dil. Sulphuric Acid

S.no a º(angle of
prism)

incidence)
d º (angle of

1 60 20 33
2 60 30 30
3 60 35 25
4 60 40 29
5 60 45 30
U = sin((60+25)/2)/sin(30)
= 1.351
Conclusion

Refractive indices at room temperature:

 Benzaldehyde

Actual = 1.546

Experiment = 1.504

 Water

Actual = 1.33

Experiment = 1.306

 Dil. Sulphuric acid

Actual = 1.355

Expweriment = 1.351
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.
