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 $^{\circ}$)

In the visible region, the dispersive powers and the mean angular deviations for crown and flint glass prisms are $\omega, \omega^{\prime}$ and $d, d^{\prime}$ respectively. The condition for obtaining dispersion without deviation, when the two prisms are combined, is:

$A$ deviation of $2^{\circ}$ is produced in the yellow ray when prisms of crown and flint glass are achromatically combined. Taking dispersive powers of crown and flint glass as $0.02$ and $0.03$ respectively and refractive indices for yellow light for these glasses as $1.5$ and $1.6$ respectively,the refracting angle for the crown glass prism will be $........\,^{\circ}$ (in degrees) (Round off to the nearest integer).

One face of a prism with a refracting angle of $30^{\circ}$ is coated with silver. $A$ ray incident on the other face at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ is refracted,reflected from the silver-coated face,and retraces its path. The refractive index of the prism is:
