To solve the given problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We are given a prism with an angle \( A = 60^\circ \) and a refractive index \( n = \sqrt{\frac{7}{3}} \). We need to find the minimum angle of incidence \( I \) for which the light ray is refracted from the second surface of the prism, as well as the maximum deviation \( \delta_{max} \). ### Step 2: Apply Snell's Law at the First Surface At the first surface of the prism, we apply Snell's law: \[ ...
