In this diagram, the angle of incidence, the angle of  emergence and the angle of deviation respectively  have been represented by  

(A) y, p and z 

(B) x, q and z  

(C) p, y and z 

(D) p, z and y  

 

Answer

 

  • The angle between the incident ray   and the normal is known as the angle of incidence .
    This is angle y in our figure

  • The angle between the emergent ray and the normal is known as the angle of emergence . 

This is angle y in our figure

  • The angle between emergent ray and incident ray produced backwards is called the angle of deviation .
