Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the angle of minimum deviation for an equilateral prism with a refractive index of 1.732 and the angle of incidence for this deviation, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of the equilateral prism An equilateral prism has angles of 60 degrees each. Therefore, the angle \( A \) of the prism is \( 60^\circ \). ### Step 2: Use the formula for minimum deviation The formula relating the refractive index \( \mu \), the angle of the prism \( A \), and the angle of minimum deviation \( \delta_m \) is given by: \[ ...
