The angle of deviation produced by a thin prism when placed in air is $\delta_1$ and that when immersed in water is $\delta_2$. The refractive indices of glass and water are $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$ respectively. The ratio $\delta_1 : \delta_2$ is

$A$ prism of refractive index $\sqrt{2}$ and refracting angle $A$ produces a minimum deviation $D_m$. $A$ ray incident on one face at an angle of incidence $i = 45^{\circ}$ undergoes minimum deviation. The values of $A$ and $D_m$ are respectively:
