    For a prism of refractive index 1.732, the angle of minimum deviation is equal to the angle of the prism. The angle of the prism is

    A)  \[\text{80 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ }\]

    B)  \[\text{70 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ }\]

    C)  \[\text{60 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ }\]

    D)  \[50{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\mu =\frac{\sin \frac{A+\delta }{2}}{\sin \frac{A}{2}}=\frac{\sin \frac{A+A}{2}}{\sin \frac{A}{2}}=\frac{\sin A}{\sin \frac{A}{2}}\] \[=\frac{2\sin \frac{A}{2}\cos \frac{A}{2}}{\sin \frac{A}{2}}=2\cos \frac{A}{2}\] So, \[\sqrt{3}=2\cos \frac{A}{2}\Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\cos \frac{A}{2}\Rightarrow A={{60}^{o}}\]
