Physics
In refraction of light through a prism, the light ray:
- suffers refraction only at one face of the prism
- emerges out from the prism in a direction parallel to the incident ray
- bends at both the surfaces of the prism towards its base
- bends at both the surfaces of prism opposite to its base.
