The Casimir effect is considered for a wedge with opening angle α, with perfectly conducting walls, when the interior region is filled with an isotropic and nondispersive medium with permittivity ε and permeability μ. The electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor in the bulk is calculated, together with the surface stress on the walls. A discussion is given on the possibilities for measuring the influence of the medium, via the Casimir-Polder force.
