Aug 15, 2017 at 13:13 comment added Mitchell If you have set a particular value of the refractive index, you will have to use the second equation, expanding the sine function and from up a relation between Dmin and A. I'm afraid, i am not familiar with the graph that we will get. But the equation will be as above. Use a graph sketch online,
Aug 15, 2017 at 12:51 comment added Darkheart Yeah i realise i doesn't change with Dmin. But the i which causes the Dmin will change with A, for example let's say Dmin for prism angle 60°, is 20°, here i would be 40°; now in a separate prism of same refractive index but prism angle about 30°, and Dmin 10°, i would be 20°. So i and Dmin are fixed for a value of A. What i want to know is the variation of Dmin with A, and the shape of the graph. And in this case let's assume refractive index is 1.5 for the prism.
