OBJECTIVE
To investigate the dependence of the angle of
deviation on the angle of incidence using a hollow
prism filled one by one with different transparent
fluids.
INTRODUCTION
In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element with
flat, polished surfaces that refract light. The exact angles
between the surfaces depend on the application. The
traditional geometrical shape is that of a triangular
prism with a triangular base and rectangular sides, and
in colloquial use “prism” usually refers to this type. Some
types of optical prism are not in fact in the shape of
geometric prisms.

Before Isaac Newton, it was believed that white light
was colorless, and that the prism itself produced the
color.
Newton’s experiments demonstrated that all the colors
already existed in the light in a heterogeneous fashion,
and that “corpuscles” (particles) of light were fanned out
because particles with different colors traveled with
different speeds through the prism. It was only later that
Young and Fresnel combined Newton’s particle theory
with Huygens’ wave theory to show that color is the
visible manifestation of light’s wavelength.
Newton arrived at his conclusion by passing the red color
from one prism through a second prism and found the
color unchanged. From this, he concluded that the colors
must already be present in the incoming light — thus, the
prism did not create colors, but merely separated colors
that are already there. He also used a lens and a second
prism to recompose the spectrum back into white light.
This experiment has become a classic example of the
methodology introduced during the scientific revolution.

The results of this experiment dramatically transformed
the field of metaphysics, leading to John Locke’s primary
vs secondary quality distinction.

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.
