Question 1 Report

The figure above shows a plot of angles of deviation through a glass prism when light is incident at θ degrees on the prism. The incident angle that produces the minimum deviation is

Answer Details
The angle of minimum deviation in a prism occurs when the angle of incidence and angle of refraction are equal. This means that the light passes symmetrically through the prism, and the deviation is at its minimum. Looking at the graph, we can see that the angle of incidence where the deviation is at a minimum is approximately 25 degrees. Therefore, the answer is: 25o
