ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to express my heartfelt
gratitude to my Physics teacher Mr.
Dinesh Singh Kushwah as well as our
principal Mr. Nikesh Sharma for
providing me with the wonderful
opportunity to work on the project "TO
FIND REFRACTIVE INDEX OF
DIFFERENT LIQUIDS USING HOLLOW
PRISM", which also assisted me in
finishing one of the best physics projects
and introducing me to so many new
things.
I would also like to extend my gratitude
to my parents & family members who
helped me gather different information,
collect data and guided me from time to
time in doing this project. I'd also like to
thank my all friends for their assistance
in completing this task in such a short
period of time.

OBJECTIVE
“To investigation the dependence of
the angle of deviation and the angle
of incidence using a hollow prism
filled one by one , with different
transparent fluids.”
INTRODUCTION
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.
THEORY
Refractive Index:
The refractive index of the liquid is given by
the formula-
Where :
= refractive index of the liquid
= the angle of minimum deviation
r = of refraction
i = angle of incidence
A = angle of prism
MATERIAL REQUIRED
Hollow Glass Prism
Various Liquids like water, carbon disulphide,
benzaldehyde ehyde etc.
Bell pins
Drawing Board
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.
