The refractive index of a prism is $\sqrt{2}$ and the angle of the prism is $30^\circ$. One of the refracting surfaces of the prism is polished. $A$ monochromatic beam of light enters the prism and retraces its path. What is the angle of incidence at the first refracting surface of the prism in degrees (in $^\circ$)?

From the graph of angle of deviation $\delta$ versus angle of incidence $i$ for an equilateral prism, the refractive index of the material of the prism is:

For an isosceles prism of angle $A$ and refractive index $\mu$,it is found that the angle of minimum deviation $\delta_m=A$. Which of the following options is/are correct?
[$A$] At minimum deviation,the incident angle $i_1$ and the refracting angle $r_1$ at the first refracting surface are related by $r_1=\left(i_1 / 2\right)$.
