(D) For a prism,the angle of the prism is given by $A = r_1 + r_2$.Since the ray emerges normally from the opposite surface,the angle of emergence $e = 0$,which implies the angle of refraction at the second surface $r_2 = 0$.Substituting $r_2 = 0$ into the prism equation,we get $r_1 = A$.Applying Snell's law at the first surface: $\sin i = \mu \sin r_1$.For small angles,$\sin i \approx i$ and $\sin r_1 \approx r_1$.Therefore,$i = \mu r_1$.Substituting $r_1 = A$,we get $i = \mu A$.
