If the refractive index of the material of a prism is \(\cot \left(\frac{A}{2}\right)\), where \(A\) is the angle of prism then the angle of minimum deviation will be
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\pi-2 \mathrm{~A}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( \cot \frac{A}{2}=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{A+\delta_{\min }}{2}\right)}{\sin \frac{A}{2}} \)
\( \Rightarrow \cos \frac{A}{2}=\sin \left(\frac{A+\delta_{\min }}{2}\right) \)
\( \frac{A+\delta_{\min }}{2}=\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{A}{2} \)
\( \delta_{\min }=\pi-2 A\)
