The refractive index of the material of an equilateral prism is \(\sqrt {2}\). The angle of minimum deviation of that prism is

  1. A \(60^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(75^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(30^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(90^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(30^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mu = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A + \delta_m}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)} \) \( \sqrt{2} = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{60^{\circ} + \delta_m}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(30^{\circ}\right)} \)…
