The refractive index of the material of a glass prism is $\sqrt{3}$. If the angle of minimum deviation is equal to the angle of the prism,then the angle of the prism is:
$\left(\cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sin 60^{\circ}, \sin 30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2} = \cos 60^{\circ}\right)$ (in $^{\circ}$)

On which factors does the angle of deviation produced by a prism depend?

$A$ plane polarized blue light ray is incident on a prism such that there is no reflection from the surface of the prism. The angle of deviation of the emergent ray is $\delta=60^{\circ}$ (see Figure-$1$). The angle of minimum deviation for red light from the same prism is $\delta_{\text{min}}=30^{\circ}$ (see Figure-$2$). The refractive index of the prism material for blue light is $\sqrt{3}$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
