$A$ ray of monochromatic light is passing through an equilateral prism $(ABC)$ as shown in the figure. The refracted ray $(QR)$ is parallel to its base $(BC)$ and the angle of incidence $(i)$ is $50^\circ$. Then the angle of deviation $(\delta)$ is: (in $^\circ$)

Three prisms $1, 2,$ and $3$ have a prism angle $A = 60^{\circ}$. Their refractive indices are $1.4, 1.5,$ and $1.6$ respectively. If $\delta_1, \delta_2,$ and $\delta_3$ are their angles of deviation,then:

An isosceles prism of angle $120^\circ$ has a refractive index of $1.44$. Two parallel monochromatic rays enter the prism parallel to each other in air as shown. The rays emerging from the opposite faces

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:
