Cover photo

The cover photo should be changed to this (the third pic in the article):

When the entrance and exit angles are equal, the deviation angle of a ray passing through a prism will be minimal.

The present photo is not depicting minimum deviation.

Removed part

I removed this part as it was not about minimum deviation.

The deviation angle in a prism depends upon:

  1. Refractive Index(): The larger the refractive index, the larger the deviation angle.
  2. The Angle of the Prism(): The larger the prism angle, the larger the deviation angle.
  3. The Angle of Incidence(): The deviation angle first increases with increasing incidence angle and then decreases.

All these factors are quite evident from the formula in the next section.
