$A$ ray of light incident on one face of an equilateral glass prism having refractive index $\sqrt{2}$, produces the emergent ray which just grazes along the adjacent face. The value of angle of incidence is $(\sin 90^{\circ} = 1, \sin 30^{\circ} = 0.5, \sin 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2})$.

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 $r_1=\left(i_1 / 2\right)$.
[$B$] For this prism the refractive index $\mu$ and the angle of prism $A$ are related as $A=\frac{1}{2} \cos ^{-1}(\mu / 2)$.
[$C$] For this prism,the emergent ray at the second surface will be tangential to the surface when the angle of incidence at the first surface is $i_1=\sin ^{-1}\left[\sin A \sqrt{4 \cos ^2 \frac{A}{2}-1}-\cos A\right]$.
[$D$] For the angle of incidence $i_1=A$,the ray inside the prism is parallel to the base of the prism.

$A$ thin prism with angle $5^{\circ}$ and refractive index $1.72$ is combined with another prism of refractive index $1.9$ to produce dispersion without deviation. The angle of the second prism is . . . . . . . (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ monochromatic light is incident at a certain angle on an equilateral triangular prism and suffers minimum deviation. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\sqrt{3}$,then the angle of incidence is ... $^o$.

In the given figure,the face $AC$ of the equilateral prism is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $n$. For an incident angle of $60^{\circ}$ at the side $AC$,the refracted light beam just grazes along the face $AC$. The refractive index of the liquid is $n = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{4}$. The value of $x$ is (Given refractive index of glass $= 1.5$)
