Light is incident on a square, glass prism as shown in the figure. What, if anything, is wrong with this picture? O The picture has no errors. The picture shows that the transmitted angle for the first surface is smaller than the incident angle. The transmitted angle will increase, not decrease. The picture shows the incident light hitting the prism at an angle, and the transmitted angle is zero. If the incident angle is not zero, the transmitted angle cannot be zero. The picture shows the incident angle as zero for the light hitting the second surface, and the transmitted angle as larger than zero. If the incident angle is zero, the transmitted angle must be zero. The light ray exiting the prism is angled downwards. The ray exiting the prism should be pointed upwards.
