Is the incident ray will be parallel to the emergent ray in a glass prism?

Academic Physics NCERT Class 10

In the case of a glass prism, the incident ray will not be parallel to the emergent ray during the refraction because the two surfaces of the prism where refraction occurs are not parallel.

Therefore, the statement is false.

In an experiment to trace the path of a ray of light through a glass prism for different values of angle of incidence a student would find that the emergent ray:(a) is parallel to the incident ray.(b) perpendicular to the incident ray.(c) is parallel to the refracted ray.(d) bends at an angle to the direction of the incident ray.
A student traces the path of a ray of light through a triangular glass prism for different values of angle of incidence. On analyzing the ray diagrams, which one of the following conclusions is he likely to draw?(A) The emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray.(B) The emergent ray bends at an angle to the direction of the incident ray.(C) The emergent ray and the refracted ray are at right angles to each other.(D) The emergent ray is perpendicular to the incident ray.
(a) With the help of a diagram, show how when light falls obliquely on the side of a rectangular glass slab, the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray.(b) Show the lateral displacement of the ray on the diagram.(c) State two factors on which the lateral displacement of the emergent ray depends.
What is the principle of reversibility of light? Show that the incident ray of light is parallel to the emergent ray of light when light falls obliquely on a side of a rectangular glass slab.
A ray of light travelling in air is incident on a parallel-sided glass slab (or rectangular glass slab). Draw a ray-diagram indicating the change in its path in glass.
The angle between an incident ray and the plane mirror is 30°. The total angle between the incident ray and reflected ray will be:(a) 30° (b) 60° (c) 90° (d) 120°
‘A ray of light incident on a rectangular glass slab immersed in any medium emerges parallel to itself.’ Draw a labelled ray diagram to justify the statement.
Explain a clear diagram of the incident ray and reflected ray.
What is an incident ray?
(a) What happens when a ray of ordinary light is passed through a triangular glass prism?(b) What will happen if another similar glass prism is placed upside down behind the first prism?
