$A$ glass prism having a refractive index $\mu$ is placed in air. If the angle of minimum deviation of the prism is equal to the angle of the prism,what is the value of the angle of the prism?

  • A
    $\cos ^{-1}(\mu)$
  • B
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mu}{2}\right)$
  • C
    $2 \cos ^{-1}(\mu)$
  • D
    $2 \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mu}{2}\right)$
