  2. Incident angle (i): The angle of the incidence is the angle made by the incident ray with the normal to the surface.
  3. Emergent Angle (e): The emergent angle is the angle of the rays leaving the medium with the normal surface at the exit point.
  4. Prism angle (A): The angle between the two faces of a prism is called the prism angle.
