If the angle of minimum deviation produced by an equilateral prism is equal to the angle of the prism, then the refractive index of the material of the prism is nearly

  1. A \(1.515\)
  2. B \(1.414\)
  3. C \(1.732\)
  4. D \(1.625\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.732\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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