For class I conducted a experiment where I made sugar solutions, poured them into a glass prism container and used a laser pointer to find the refractive index. However, while typing in my results I realized I found the angle of deviation instead of the minimum angle of deviation since I didn't adjust the prism so that the refracted light inside the prism was parallel to the side of the prism.
Does that mean I can not use the formula
to find the refractive index? Do I have to redo my experiment? I am at a time constraint so I would even be open to having another aim for my investigation instead of redoing the experiment. I am very confused and my teacher hasn't been much help.
