D
editAt one point, "D" should be "D" with the subscript lambda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.203.120 (talk) 10:26, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
Cover photo
editThe cover photo should be changed to this (the third pic in the article):
The present photo is not depicting minimum deviation.

Removed part
editI removed this part as it was not about minimum deviation.
The deviation angle in a prism depends upon:
- Refractive Index( ): The larger the refractive index, the larger the deviation angle.
- The Angle of the Prism( ): The larger the prism angle, the larger the deviation angle.
- 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.
