| Input | Parameter | Unit | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apex A | A | ° | 60 |
| Index n | n | 1.52 |
Result with the default inputs
- δ min: 38.9284 °
Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/prism-deviation?A=60. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
