To find the minimum angles of deviation of an equilateral prism made of silicate fint glass for light of wavelengths 400 nm and 700 nm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We are given the refractive indices of silicate fint glass for two different wavelengths of light (400 nm and 700 nm). The refractive indices are: - For 400 nm: \( \mu_1 = 1.66 \) - For 700 nm: \( \mu_2 = 1.61 \) We need to find the minimum angle of deviation (\( D \)) for an equilateral prism, which has an apex angle \( A = 60^\circ \). ...
