To solve the problem of finding the angle of deviation produced when a ray of light is incident at \(42^\circ\) on one face of an equilateral glass prism immersed in water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Given Values - Refractive index of glass prism (\( \mu_g \)) = 1.5 - Refractive index of water (\( \mu_w \)) = 1.33 - Angle of the prism (\( A \)) = 60° (since it is an equilateral prism) - Angle of incidence (\( i \)) = 42° ...
