To find the angle of minimum deviation (Δ_min) for a prism with a refracting angle A and a refractive index (μ) of cot(A/2), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between refractive index and angles:** The refractive index of a prism at minimum deviation is given by the formula: \[ \mu = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A + \Delta_{min}}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)} ...
