For an equilateral prism, it is found that angle of minimum deviation is equal to angle of the prism. Find the refractive index of material of the prism.

  1. A \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \)
  2. B \( \sqrt{2} \)
  3. C \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \)
  4. D \( \sqrt{3} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( \sqrt{3} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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