To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship for minimum deviation In the case of a prism, when light passes through it at minimum deviation, the relationship between the angle of incidence (i), the angle of the prism (A), and the angle of minimum deviation (D) is given by the formula: \[ D = 2i - A \] ### Step 2: Substitute the known values We know: ...
