Question

The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray in a glass prism is called as
  1. angle of emergence
  2. angle of reflection
  3. angle of refraction
  4. angle of deviation

A
angle of emergence
B
angle of deviation
C
angle of reflection
D
angle of refraction
Solution
Verified by Toppr

When a beam passing through an object like glass prism it gets deflected twice, once while entering into glass prism and secondly when exiting from the prism. The sum of these two deflections is known as deviation angle or angle of deviation.
