White light is passed through a prism of angle $5^{\circ}$. If the refractive indices for red and blue colors are $1.641$ and $1.659$ respectively,the angular dispersion between them will be..... (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ ray of light incident on one face of an equilateral glass prism having refractive index $\sqrt{2}$, produces the emergent ray which just grazes along the adjacent face. The value of angle of incidence is $(\sin 90^{\circ} = 1, \sin 30^{\circ} = 0.5, \sin 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2})$.

One face of the 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 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?
