For refraction through a small angled prism,the angle of deviation:

$A$ parallel beam of monochromatic light is incident at one surface of an equilateral prism. The angle of incidence is $55^o$ and the angle of emergence is $46^o$. The angle of minimum deviation will be:

When light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on an equilateral prism kept in its minimum deviation position,it is found that the angle of deviation equals the angle of the prism itself. The refractive index of the material of the prism for the wavelength $\lambda$ is,then

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.

Angle of minimum deviation for a prism of refractive index $1.5$ is equal to the angle of prism. The angle of prism is $......^{\circ}$ $\left(\cos 41^{\circ}=0.75\right)$
