$A$ prism is made up of a material with a refractive index of $\sqrt{3}$. 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 $^{\circ}$)

Angle of deviation $(\delta)$ by a prism (refractive index = $\mu$ and supposing the angle of prism $A$ to be small) can be given by

$A$ 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 $^{\circ}$)
