-plain paper

-Protractor

-Some plasticine

-Soft board

i). Set up the apparatus as shown below.

i). Measure angle A of the prism using a protractor. (1mrk) ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

iii). Place the prism on a plain paper and trace its outline with a pencil. Attach some plasticine to the prism to indicate the prism angle A, construct a normal at point T along LM. Draw an incident ray to strike the prism at 400. Replace the prism and stick pins p1and p2 to define the incident ray. View p1 and p2 from the opposite face (MN). Insert pins p3 and p4 so that they appear to be in line with images of p1 and p2. Remove the prism and join p3 to p4 to give emergent ray. Extrapolate the emergent ray into the prism so as to meet the extrapolated incident ray at Q.
