To find the angle of minimum deviation (D_m) for a glass prism immersed in a liquid, we can use the formula derived from Snell's law. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Refractive index of the prism (μ_p) = 1.5 - Refractive index of the liquid (μ_s) = 1.36 - Angle of the prism (A) = 60° ### Step 2: Write the formula for minimum deviation ...
