$A$ monochromatic light is incident from air on a refracting surface of a prism of angle $A = 75^{\circ}$ and refractive index $n_0 = \sqrt{3}$. The other refracting surface of the prism is coated by a thin film of material of refractive index $n$ as shown in the figure. The light suffers total internal reflection at the coated prism surface for an incidence angle of $\theta \leq 60^{\circ}$. The value of $n^2$ is:
