$A$ ray of light is incident at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ on the first face of a prism. The angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$ and its second face is silvered. If the light ray inside the prism retraces its path after reflection from the second face, then the refractive index of the material of the prism is

  • A
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3}$

The refractive index of the material of a prism is $\sqrt{2}$ and the angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$. One of the two refracting surfaces of the prism is made a mirror inwards,by silver coating. $A$ beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path (after reflection from the silvered surface) if its angle of incidence on the prism is (in $^{\circ}$)

If the angle of prism is $60^o$ and the angle of minimum deviation is $40^o$,the angle of refraction will be.....$^o$
