The angle of emergence is equal to the angle of incidence. ... In case of a prism, the normal at the point ofincidence is not parallel to the normal at the point of emergence. Therefore, in a prism, the angle of emergence is not, in general, equal to the angle of incidence.

Assume ABCD to be the glass plate with sides AB parallel to CD.
Let the refractive index of air and glass be n1and n2.
Consider a ray of light EF incident on surface AB of the glass slab with angle of incidence, ∠i.
The light ray is refracted into the glass slab along the path FG and towards the normal, NN’ . ∠ r1 is the angle of refraction.
The light ray is refracted out of the glass slab at the surface CD along the path GH. The angle of incidence at this surface is ∠r2.
The light ray emerges out of the slab forming ∠e as angle of emergence.
The surfaces AB and CD are parallel and FG is the transversal,
Therefore, ∠r1= ∠r1
