Let velocity of light in air be v.
Velocity of light in medium, is the refractive index of the medium.
Given : n1 = 1
Using Snell's law of refraction: ...................... (1)
But it is given that angle of incidence is very small, i.e
Hence angle of refraction is also very small
∴ From equation
Now angle of deviation,
