    The refractive index of an equilateral prism is\[\sqrt{3}\] What is the angle of minimum deviation?

    A) \[45{}^\circ \]

    B)        \[60{}^\circ \]  

    C) \[37{}^\circ \]

    D)        \[72{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     For the position of\[{{\delta }_{m}},\,\,r=\frac{A}{2}={{30}^{o}}\] Now,     \[\mu =\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\frac{\sin i}{\sin A/2}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\sqrt{3}=\frac{\sin i}{1/2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[i=60\]. \[\therefore \]  \[{{\delta }_{m}}=2i-A=120-60=60\]
