Question
For an equilateral prism, it is observed that when a ray strikes grazingly at one face it emerges grazingly at the other. Its refractive index will be

Answer

$\mathrm{i}_{1}=\mathrm{i}_{2}=90^{\circ}, \mathrm{r}_{1}=\mathrm{r}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{2}=30^{\circ}$

$\mu=\frac{\sin \mathrm{i}_{1}}{\sin \mathrm{r}_{1}}=2$

Assertion : Newton’s rings are formed in the reflected system when the space between the lens and the glass plate is filled with a liquid of refracitve index greater than that of glass, the central spot of the pattern is bright.

Reason : This is because the reflection in these cases will be from a denser to rarer medium and the two interfering rays are reflected under similar conditions.
