To determine the speed of light through an equilateral prism with a minimum deviation of \(30^\circ\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - The angle of the prism \(A = 60^\circ\) (since it is an equilateral prism). - The minimum angle of deviation \(\delta_m = 30^\circ\). ### Step 2: Use the formula for the refractive index of the prism The refractive index \(\mu\) of the prism can be calculated using the formula: ...
