When a ray passes through two parallel slabs what will be the angle of deviation?

It depends on
(a) the angle of incidence, and
(b) the relative refractive indices of the slabs as well as the medium on either side of them and between them.

Why should you keep the prism in minimum deviation position?
f a line is drawn parallel to the angle of incidence axis (X-axis), it cuts the graph at two points, showing that there are two values of angle of incidence for an angle of deviation. However, at the point of angle of minimum deviation, the line will be tangent to the curve showing that for minimum angle of deviation there is only one angle of incidence.
Does a secant tangent angle pass through the center of the circle?
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
Do parallel lines meet at a 30 dregrese angle?
Lines that meet are not parallel, and parallel lines never meet.
How many parallel sides does a right angle triangle have?
None. Triangles do not have parallel sides
Would parallel lines intersect at a 90 degree angle?
no they are parallel therefore they will never intersect
Why does the angle of deviation of a prism decreases first and then increases?
As the angle of incidence is increased, angle of deviation 'd' decreases and reaches minimum value. If the angle of incidence is further increased, the angle of deviation is increased. Let dm be the angle of minimum deviation. The refracted ray in the prism in that case will be parallel to the base.
Why perpendicular light rays don't refrect through a medium?
As it is parallel to the normal to the surface, the angle of incidence is zero and hence the angle of refraction also has to be zero. Hence no deviation and no refraction.

How is angle of prism and angle of deviation related?
angle of deviation = angle of prism x ( refractice index -1)
What happens when light passes through the prism in wrong angle?
There is no 'wrong angle' - it either passes through the prism or it doesn't. The blue or violet waves will be the most diffracted.
The term angle of deviation is used in referance to?
The term angle of deviation is used in reference to a prism.
What is the angle bisector of 146 degree?
It is a straight line which passes through the vertex of the angle and divides it into halves.
Why does dispersion take place in only a prism and not in a glass slab?
The light strikes on one surface of the prism undergoes refraction and passes through the glass of the prism, and when emerges out, it refracts again. This causes the dispersion of the light and splits the light into its constituent colours. The degree of bending depends on the angle at which the ray of light enters and leaves the faces of the prism. The faces of the prism are not parallel to each other. For a glass slab, the opposite faces of the slab are parallel. So only a slight deviation occurs.
What is transversal angle?
They are angles formed by the transversal line cutting through parallel lines
Which wavelength of visible light bends the most when refracted by a prism?
When light passes through a prism, the angle of deviation of any light beam is inversely proportional to its wavelengh. Since, violet color has least wave length, it bends the most and the red bends the least.Dhirender Sharma
What is the maximum value of angle of deviation of prism?
360
What is a corresponded angle?
When a line cuts through two parallel lines the corresponding angles are equal.
