Angle of Deviation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Angle of Deviation = Angle of Incidence+Angle of Emergence-Angle of Prism
D = i+e-A
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Angle of Deviation - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Deviation is the angle between the incident ray and the path of the refracted ray.
Angle of Incidence - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Incidence is the angle which an incident line or ray makes with a perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.
Angle of Emergence - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Emergence is the angle between the incident ray and the path of the emergent ray.
Angle of Prism - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Prism is the angle between the prism between two lateral surfaces.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Angle of Incidence: 40 Degree --> 0.698131700797601 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Emergence: 4 Degree --> 0.0698131700797601 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Prism: 35 Degree --> 0.610865238197901 Radian (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
D = i+e-A --> 0.698131700797601+0.0698131700797601-0.610865238197901
Evaluating ... ...
D = 0.15707963267946
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.15707963267946 Radian -->9 Degree (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
9 Degree <-- Angle of Deviation
