$A$ light ray is incident by grazing one of the faces of a prism. After refraction,the ray does not emerge out from the other face. What should be the angle of the prism if the critical angle is $C$?

$A$ light ray enters through a right-angled prism at point $P$ with an angle of incidence of $30^{\circ}$ as shown in the figure. It travels through the prism parallel to its base $BC$ and emerges along the face $AC$. The refractive index of the prism is:

For a thin prism,if the angle of prism is $4^{\circ}$ and the refractive index is $1.6$,then the angle of minimum deviation will be . . . . . . . (in $^{\circ}$)

It was found that the refractive index of the material of a certain prism varied as $\mu = 1.5 + 0.004 / \lambda^{2}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used to measure the refractive index. The same material was then used to construct a thin prism of apex angle $10^{\circ}$. Angles of minimum deviation $\delta_{m}$ of the prism were recorded for the sources with wavelengths $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$,respectively. Then,

$A$ ray of light passes through an equilateral prism such that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence. If the angle of incidence is $45^o$,the angle of deviation will be.......$^o$.
