The angle of minimum deviation produced by a `60^(@)` prism is `40^(@)`. Calculate the refractive index of the material of the prism.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the refractive index of the material of a prism given the angle of the prism and the angle of minimum deviation, we can use the formula for the refractive index (μ) of a prism: \[ \mu = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A + D_m}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)} \] Where: - \(A\) = angle of the prism ...
