AI Generated Solution

To find the angle of minimum deviation (Δm) for an equilateral prism with a refractive index (μ) of √3, we can use the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of the prism An equilateral prism has all angles equal to 60 degrees. Therefore, the angle of the prism (A) is: \[ A = 60^\circ \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for refractive index The formula relating the refractive index (μ), angle of prism (A), and angle of minimum deviation (Δm) is given by: ...
