Yes, in a prism, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence when light passes through it, assuming the prism is made of a uniform material and there is no absorption or scattering. This occurs because the light entering and exiting the prism does so at the same angle relative to the normal at the respective surfaces. However, the angle of refraction inside the prism can differ depending on the prism's material and the wavelength of light.

What are two conditions for minimum deviation in a prism?

The two conditions for minimum deviation in a prism are that the incident angle and the angle of refraction at the prism's surfaces must be equal, and the light ray must pass symmetrically through the prism. This occurs when the angle of incidence equals the angle of emergence, resulting in the light ray entering and exiting the prism at equal angles relative to the prism's base. Additionally, the angle of deviation is minimized when the light ray travels in a straight path through the prism's apex.


How does incident light emerge from a prism?

Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.
