AI Generated Solution

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