To solve the problem, we need to find the angle of the prism (A) given that the refractive index (μ) is equal to √3 and the angle of minimum deviation (δM) is equal to the angle of the prism (A). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship**: We know that for a prism, the refractive index (μ) is given by the formula: \[ \mu = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A + \delta_M}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)} \] ...
