Here is a sample on Minimum Angle of Deviation for a Cubic Zirconia Prism. Interestingly, the author of the problem uses 1.34 as the prism's index of refraction; water, as we know, has an index of 1.33. Cubic Zirconia has an actual index of roughly 2.15. I would expect this is a multi-variation problem from Quest Learning. The application of the equation will work no matter what numbers are introduced. Enjoy!!

Interesting information! Are the CZ diamond replicas still widely marketed? back in the 1970s, detergent companies put a CZ in boxes of laundry detergent as a marketing gimmick. Turns out that the CZs were as valuable as the detergent.
