The refractive index of a prism with apex angle \(A\) is \(\cot A / 2\). The angle of minimum deviation is _______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\delta_{\mathrm{m}}=180^{\circ}-2 \mathrm{~A}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mu=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{A+\delta m}{2}\right)}{\sin \frac{A}{2}}\)
\(\frac{\cos \frac{A}{2}}{\sin \frac{A}{2}}=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{A+\delta m}{2}\right)}{\sin \frac{A}{2}}\)
\(\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{A}{2}\right)=\sin \left(\frac{A+\delta_m}{2}\right)\)
\(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{A}{2}=\frac{A}{2}+\frac{\delta m}{2}\)
\(\delta_m=\pi-2 A\)
