$A$ beam of monochromatic light is incident at $i = 50^{\circ}$ on one face of an equilateral prism. If the angle of emergence is $e = 40^{\circ}$,then the angle of minimum deviation $\delta_m$ is:

  • A
    $30^{\circ}$
  • B
    $< 30^{\circ}$
  • C
    $\leq 30^{\circ}$
  • D
    $\geq 30^{\circ}$

$A$ prism has a refracting angle '$A$'. The second refracting surface of the prism is silvered. $A$ light ray falling on the first refracting surface with an angle of incidence '$2A$' reaches the second surface and returns back through the same path due to reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index of the material of the prism is:
