Solution
Angle i by conventions represents the angle of incidence which is formed between the incident ray and the normal. From the given figure it is clear that angle i is correctly marked.
Angle r by convention represents angle of refraction which is formed between the refracted ray and the normal. From the given figure it is clear that angle r is correctly marked.
Angle e by convention represents angle of emergent which is formed between the emergent ray and the normal. But in the given figure it is shown between the emergent ray and the incident ray. Therefore, it is incorrectly marked.
Angle D by conventions represents the angle of deviation which is formed between the emergent ray and the incident ray. But in the given figure it is shown between the emergent ray and the normal. Therefore, it is incorrectly marked.
Angle A represents angle of prism and it is correctly marked.
Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
