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

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