When an equilateral prism is placed in the position of minimum deviation , the incident ray makes an angle of 37^(@) with the refracting surface . What is the material of the prism , if the angle of 37^(@) with the refracting surface . What is the angle of minimum deviation ?

A hollow prism is filled with water and placed in air. It will deviate the incident rays

An equilateral glass prism can produce a minimum deviation of 30° to the path of an incident ray. A transpar- ent slab of refractive index 1.5 is placed in contact with one of the refracting faces of the prism. Thickness of the slab is 3 cm. Now calculate the minimum possible deviation which can be produced by this prism-slab combination.

Calculate the speed of light in the prism if a ray of light is passing through an equilateral triangular glass prism from air and undergoes minimum deviation when angle of incidence is 5//4 th of the angle of prism.

A ray of light is incident on an equilateral glass prism placed on a horizontal table. Which of the following is true for the condition of minimum deviation ?
