In an experiment to find refractive index of a prism it was found that the minimum deviation was `30^(@).` What is the refractive index if angle of prism is also `30^(@).`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the refractive index of a prism given the angle of the prism and the minimum deviation, we can use the formula: \[ \mu = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A + D}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)} \] where: - \( \mu \) is the refractive index, ...
