The refracting angle of a prism is $A,$ and the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\cot(A/2).$ The angle of minimum deviation is:

The curve of angle of incidence versus angle of deviation shown has been plotted for a prism. The value of the refractive index of the prism used is:

When light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on an equilateral prism kept in its minimum deviation position,it is found that the angle of deviation equals the angle of the prism itself. The refractive index of the material of the prism for the wavelength $\lambda$ is,then

For the angle of minimum deviation of a prism to be equal to its refracting angle,the prism must be made of a material whose refractive index is:
