(N/A) In the minimum deviation position, the refracted ray inside the prism is parallel to the base $BC$. The emergent ray is shown in the provided solution image.
The angle of deviation $\delta$ depends upon the following factors:
$(i)$ The angle of the prism $(A)$.
$(ii)$ The refractive index of the material of the prism $\mu$.
$(iii)$ The angle of incidence $(i)$.
$(iv)$ The wavelength of the light used $\lambda$.
