One face of a glass prism is silver-polished. $A$ light ray falls at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ on the other face. After refraction, it is subsequently reflected from the silvered face and then retraces its path. The refracting angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$. The refractive index of the prism is:

The angle of minimum deviation is equal to the angle of the equilateral prism. At what angle of incidence $i$ will this minimum deviation occur?

$A$ flint glass prism and a crown glass prism are to be combined in such a way that the deviation of the mean ray is zero. The refractive indices of flint and crown glasses for the mean ray are $1.620$ and $1.518$ respectively. If the refracting angle of the flint prism is $6.0^{\circ}$,what would be the refracting angle of the crown prism (in $^{\circ}$)?
