An isosceles glass prism with base angles $40^{\circ}$ is clamped over a tray of water in a position such that the base is just dipped in water. $A$ ray of light incident normally on the inclined face suffers total internal reflection at the base. If the refractive index of water is $1.33$,then the condition imposed on the refractive index $\mu$ of the glass is

$A$ ray of light is incident at $60^{\circ}$ on one face of a prism of angle $30^{\circ}$. The emergent ray makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the incident ray. The refractive index of the prism is

$A$ prism of a certain angle deviates the red and blue rays by $8^{\circ}$ and $12^{\circ}$ respectively. Another prism of the same angle deviates the red and blue rays by $10^{\circ}$ and $14^{\circ}$ respectively. The prisms are small-angled and made of different materials. The dispersive powers of the materials of the prisms are in the ratio:
