AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the incident and emergent rays are symmetrical with respect to the base of a prism in the minimum deviation position, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Prism Configuration**: - Consider a prism with a base and two refracting surfaces. Let’s denote the apex of the prism as point A and the base as line BC. 2. **Incident and Emergent Rays**: ...
