The angle of minimum deviation from a pr...

The angle of minimum deviation from a prism is `37^@`. If the angle of prism is `53^@`, find the refractive index of the material of the prism.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`mu=(sin(A+delta_m)/2)/(siN/A/2)=(sin(53^@37^@)/2)/sin(53^@/2)=(sin45^@)/(sin26.5^@)`
`=1.58`
