The angle of minimum deviation for a gla...

The angle of minimum deviation for a glass prism with `mu=sqrt3` equals the refracting angle of the prism. What is the angle of the prism?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Using`mu=sin((A+delta_m)/2)/sin(A/2),`
Given, `delta_m=A`
`:. sqrt3=sinA/(sin'(A)/(2))=(2sinA/2.cosA/2)/(sin'A/2)`
Solving this equation, we get `A=60^@`
