The refracting angle of a glass prism is $30^{\circ}$. $A$ ray is incident on one of the faces and is perpendicular to it. The angle of deviation $\delta$ between the incident ray and the ray that leaves the prism is (Refractive index of glass $= 1.5$) (Given: $\sin(30^{\circ}) = 0.5, \sin(48.6^{\circ}) = 0.75$). (in $^{\circ}$)

Two equilateral-triangular prisms $P_1$ and $P_2$ are kept with their sides parallel to each other,in vacuum,as shown in the figure. $A$ light ray enters prism $P_1$ at an angle of incidence $\theta$ such that the outgoing ray undergoes minimum deviation in prism $P_2$. If the respective refractive indices of $P_1$ and $P_2$ are $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ and $\sqrt{3}$,then $\theta = \sin^{-1}\left[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{\beta}\right)\right]$,where the value of $\beta$ is:
