The refractive index of the material of a glass prism is $\sqrt{3}$. If the angle of minimum deviation is equal to the angle of the prism,then the angle of the prism is:
$\left(\cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sin 60^{\circ}, \sin 30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2} = \cos 60^{\circ}\right)$ (in $^{\circ}$)

  • A
    $45$
  • B
    $60$
  • C
    $30$
  • D
    $50$
