15.

Light passes through a rectangular glass slab and through a triangular glass prism.In what way does the direction of the two emergent beams differ and why ?

a)

emergent beam from slab is parallel to incident beam, because the sides of the glass slab are parallel

b)

emergent beam is not parallelto incident beam for a triangular prism because the refracting sidesof prism are inclined

c)

incident beam and emergent beam are inclined towards the base of the prism , since the sides of the prism are inclined.

d)

there is no change in the emergent beam from glass slab and glass prism
