In equilateral glass prism , A = 60 degrees . As the ray of light passes symmetrical through the prism, its a minimum deviation position.
Also i = e .. and r = A / 2 ..
hence, r = 30 degrees..
by Snell 's law, Sini / Sinr = n
Sin i / sin30 = n
Sin i = n / 2 .
therefore i = sin inverse of n/2 .. ( n = refractive index = )
= sin-1
