What is the correct formula for the deviation of light through a prism with a very small prism angle beta?
- n times a
- n - 1 times a (correct)
- n + 1 times a
- n divided by a

Study Notes
Optics and Optical Instruments Mind Map Session Summary
- Focal length is the distance between the focus and the pole in the same plane, and the size of the image in respect to the object is called magnification.
- The speed of light in a medium decreases as the refractive index (beta) increases, given by the formula n2/v - n1/u = n2 - n1/r.
- For a positive focal length, which indicates a convex lens, the power will also be positive.
- The formula for deviation for a prism with a very small prism angle beta is n - 1 times a.
- The session will cover the important topics of reflection of light, refraction of light, total internal reflection, refraction through a prism, and optical instruments.
- Reflection of light occurs when light incident on a smooth polished surface bounces back into the same medium, known as the phenomenon of reflection of light.
- The session is divided into five major categories: reflection of light, refraction of light, total internal reflection, refraction through a prism, and optical instruments.
- The speed of light in a medium decreases as the refractive index (beta) increases, given by the formula n2/v - n1/u = n2 - n1/r.
- For a positive focal length, which indicates a convex lens, the power will also be positive.
