The principal section of a glass prism is an isosceles triangle $ABC$ with $AB = AC$. The face $AC$ is silvered. $A$ ray of light is incident normally on the face $AB$ and after two reflections, it emerges from the base $BC$ perpendicular to the base. The angle $BAC$ of the prism is: (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ ray of light is incident normally on a prism of refractive index $1.5$,as shown. The prism is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $\mu$. The largest value of the angle $ACB$ such that the ray is totally internally reflected at the face $AC$ is $30^o$. Then the value of $\mu$ must be :
