To solve the problem of finding the angle of minimum deviation (D_m) for an equilateral glass prism in a medium with a given refractive index, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Refractive index of the prism (μ) = 1.6 - Refractive index of the medium (n) = \( \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{5} \) - Angle of the prism (A) = 60° (since it is an equilateral prism) ### Step 2: Use the formula for angle of minimum deviation ...
