$A$ prism has a refracting angle $A$. The second refracting surface of the prism is silvered. $A$ light ray falling on the first refracting surface with an angle of incidence $2A$ reaches the second surface and returns back along the same path due to reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index of the material of the prism is:
