The critical angle between an equilateral prism and air is $45^o$. If the incident ray is perpendicular to the refracting surface,then

The angle of a prism is $30^o$ and its refractive index is $\sqrt{2}$. One of its surfaces is silvered. At what angle of incidence should a ray be incident on the other surface so that after reflection from the silvered surface,it retraces its path?

Three thin prisms are combined as shown in the figure. The refractive indices of the crown glass for red,yellow,and violet rays are ${\mu _r}, {\mu _y}$ and ${\mu _v}$ respectively,and those for the flint glass are ${\mu _r}', {\mu _y}'$ and ${\mu _v}'$ respectively. If there is no net deviation in the yellow ray,then the ratio $A'/A$ will be:

$A$ prism of refractive index $n_{1}$ and another prism of refractive index $n_{2}$ are stuck together (as shown in the figure). $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ depend on $\lambda$, the wavelength of light, according to the relation:
${n}_{1}=1.2+\frac{10.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}} \text{ and } {n}_{2}=1.45+\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}}$
The wavelength for which rays incident at any angle on the interface $BC$ pass through without bending at that interface will be $....\,nm.$
