Comparing the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction at each refracting surface of the prism helps illustrate that the type of bending is medium change)

Question
Comparing the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction at each refracting surface of the prism helps illustrate that the type of bending is medium change)
completely unrelated to that in a glass slab
similar in kind to the bending observed in a glass slab (towards/away from normal based on
the opposite of what happens in a glass slab
impossible to compare meaningfully
Answer
similar in kind to the bending observed in a glass slab (towards/away from normal based on
Detailed Explanation
The chapter's discussion invites comparing prism refraction to slab refraction, concluding the same basic bending principles (towards normal entering denser medium, away from normal leaving it) apply in both cases.
