Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find 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: \[ \mu = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A + D_m}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)} \] Where: - \( \mu \) is the refractive index, ...
