The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angle of emergence (E) from a prism given the angle of the prism (A), the angle of incidence (i), and the deviation (D). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Angle of the prism, \( A = 30^\circ \) - Angle of incidence, \( i = 60^\circ \) - Deviation, \( D = 30^\circ \) 2. **Understand the Relation of Angles:** - The deviation \( D \) is given by the formula: \[ D = i + e - A \] - Here, \( e \) is the angle of emergence. 3. **Substituting Known Values:** - Substitute the known values into the deviation formula: \[ 30^\circ = 60^\circ + e - 30^\circ \] 4. **Simplifying the Equation:** - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 30^\circ = 60^\circ + e - 30^\circ \] - This simplifies to: \[ 30^\circ = 30^\circ + e \] 5. **Isolating the Angle of Emergence:** - Subtract \( 30^\circ \) from both sides: \[ 0^\circ = e \] 6. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the angle of emergence \( e = 0^\circ \). ### Final Answer: The angle of emergence is \( 0^\circ \). ---
