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:

$A$ thin prism of angle $15^o$ made of glass of refractive index $\mu_1 = 1.5$ is combined with another prism of glass of refractive index $\mu_2 = 1.75$. The combination of the prisms produces dispersion without deviation. The angle of the second prism should be ......$^o$

One of the refractive surfaces of a prism of angle $30^{\circ}$ is silvered. $A$ ray of light incident at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ retraces its path. The refractive index of the material of the prism is:

$A$ prism is made up of material of refractive index $\sqrt{3}$. The angle of the prism is $A$. If the angle of minimum deviation is equal to the angle of the prism,then the value of $A$ is: (in $^{\circ}$)
