To solve the problem, we need to find the angle of the prism (A) given that the refractive index (μ) of the glass is 1.5 and the angle of minimum deviation (Δm) is equal to the angle of the prism (A). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship**: We know that at the angle of minimum deviation, the angle of minimum deviation (Δm) is equal to the angle of the prism (A). Therefore, we can write: \[ A = Δm ...
