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 $^{\circ}$)

$A$ graph is plotted between angle of deviation $(\delta)$ and angle of incidence $(i)$ for a prism. The nearly correct graph is

The refractive indices for the light of violet and red colours of any material are $1.66$ and $1.64$ respectively. If the angle of the prism made of this material is $10^o$,then the angular dispersion will be......$^o$.

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 $= 1.5$)
