One face of a glass prism is silver-polished. $A$ light ray falls at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ on the other face. After refraction, it is subsequently reflected from the silvered face and then retraces its path. The refracting angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$. The refractive index of the prism is:

$A$ ray of light passes through an equilateral glass prism in such a manner that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence and each of these angles is equal to $\frac{3}{4}$ of the angle of the prism. The angle of deviation is (in $^{\circ}$)

For a prism of angle $\pi/3$,the angle of minimum deviation is $\pi/6$. If the velocity of light in vacuum is $3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m/s}$,then the velocity of light in the material of the prism is:

When a glass prism of refracting angle $60^\circ$ is immersed in a liquid,its angle of minimum deviation is $30^\circ$. The critical angle of glass with respect to the liquid medium is......$^\circ$
