MINIMUM DEVIATION

Domain	Definition
Aerospace	The least total refraction experienced by radiation passing through a prismatic refractive medium.It is important to note that the refractive deviation is minimal, in general, only with respect to adjacent light paths, for there may exist a number of path directions through a single object, each one of which yields a local minimum deviation. When radiation has undergone minimum deviation, the angular difference in path directions before and after total refraction is termed the angle of minimum deviation. (references)
Mining	A method for measuring the refractive index of a prism or a liquid in ahollow prism by determining the minimum deflected angle of a light beam. (references)
