What is minimum angle of deviation?

The minimum angle of deviation refers to the smallest angle at which a light ray passes through a prism, emerging parallel to its original path after refraction. This angle occurs when the light ray enters and exits the prism symmetrically. The minimum angle of deviation is important in optics for determining the refractive index of the prism material.

How to Calculate Angle of Deviation?

Angle of Deviation calculator uses Angle of Deviation = Angle of Incidence+Angle of Emergence-Angle of Prism to calculate the Angle of Deviation, Angle of Deviation formula is defined as a measure of the difference between the initial direction of a refracted ray and the direction of the emergent ray in optics, providing a way to calculate the deviation of light as it passes through a medium with a different refractive index. Angle of Deviation is denoted by D symbol.

How to calculate Angle of Deviation using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Angle of Deviation, enter Angle of Incidence (i), Angle of Emergence (e) & Angle of Prism (A) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Angle of Deviation calculation can be explained with given input values -> 515.662 = 0.698131700797601+0.0698131700797601-0.610865238197901.
