CAN A RECTANGULAR GLASS SLAB BE TREATED AS A COMBINATION OF TWO EQUIVALENT PRISM? AND IF YES THEN CAN A GLASS SLAB BE USED FOR RECOMBINATION OF LIGHT ?

Solution

When we join an inverted prism with the normal prism then light emerges out from the two parallel refracting surfaces therefore glass slab can be used as the combination of two prism.
