A prism is made of glass of unknown refractive index. A parallel beam of light is incident on a face of the prism. By rotating the prism, the minimum angle of deviation is measured to be `40^@`. What is the refractive index of the prism ? If the prism is placed in water `(mu = 1.33)`, predict the new angle of minimum deviation of the parallel beam. The refracting angle of prism is `60^@`.
