Solution:
Using the prism formula: \(\mu = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A + D_m}{2}\right)}{\sin(A/2)}\). Since \(A = D_m = 60^\circ\), \(\mu = \frac{\sin(60^\circ)}{\sin(30^\circ)} = \sqrt{3} \approx 1.732\).
The refracting angle and minimum angle of deviation of a prism is same as \(60^\circ\). The refractive index of prism is
