$A$ ray of light passes through an equilateral prism such that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence,and each of these angles is equal to $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{th}$ of the angle of the prism. The angle of deviation is: (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ light ray is incident by grazing one of the faces of a prism. After refraction,the ray does not emerge out from the other face. What should be the angle of the prism if the critical angle is $C$?

The refractive index of a material of a prism of angles $45^o -45^o -90^o$ is $1.5$. The path of the ray of light incident normally on the hypotenuse side is shown in

Three glass prisms $A, B$ and $C$ of the same refractive index are placed in contact with each other as shown in the figure,with no air gap between the prisms. $A$ monochromatic ray of light $OP$ passes through the prism assembly and emerges as $QR$.
