$A$ prism is made of glass of unknown refractive index. $A$ parallel beam of light is incident on a face of the prism. The angle of minimum deviation is measured to be $40^{\circ}$. What is the refractive index of the material of the prism? The refracting angle of the prism is $60^{\circ}$. If the prism is placed in water (refractive index $1.33$),predict the new angle of minimum deviation of a parallel beam of light.

Assertion: There exist two angles of incidence for the same magnitude of deviation (except for minimum deviation) by a prism kept in air.
Reason: In a prism kept in air,a ray is incident on the first surface and emerges out of the second surface. If another ray is incident on the second surface along the path of the previous emergent ray,then this ray emerges out of the first surface along the path of the previous incident ray. This principle is called the principle of reversibility of light.

Two identical thin isosceles prisms of refracting angle $A$ and refractive index $\mu$ are placed with their bases touching each other. Two parallel rays of light are incident on this system at a distance $h$ from the principal axis as shown. The distance of the point where the rays converge from the prism is:

$A$ prism of refractive index $1.53$ is placed in water of refractive index $1.33$. If the angle of prism is $60^{\circ}$,the angle of minimum deviation in water will be ........$^{\circ}$ $(\sin 35.1^{\circ} = 0.575)$
