HOLLOW PRISM
for his valuable support, constant help and guidance at each and
every stage, without which this project would not have come
forth. I also register my sense of gratitude to our principal,

Aim
To find out the refractive indices of different liquids using a
hollow prism
Apparatus Required
Bell pins
Drawing board
Theory
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.
U=sin{(60+22)/2}/sin(30) = 1.306
Benzaldehyde
U=sin{(60+40)/2}/sin(30) = 1.504
Conclusion
Refractive indices at room temperature:
Water:
Actual: 1.33
Experimental: 1.306
Actual: 1.355
Experimental: 1.351
Benzaldehyde:
Actual: 1.546
Experimental: 1.504
