$A$ ray of light is incident on an equilateral glass prism placed on a horizontal table. For minimum deviation,which of the following is true?

$A$ ray of light is incident at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ on the first face of a prism. The angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$ and its second face is silvered. If the light ray inside the prism retraces its path after reflection from the second face, then the refractive index of the material of the prism is

For a prism of angle $\pi/3$,the angle of minimum deviation is $\pi/6$. If the velocity of light in vacuum is $3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m/s}$,then the velocity of light in the material of the prism is:

The angle of a prism is $A$. One of its refracting surfaces is silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence $2A$ on the first surface return back through the same path after suffering reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index $\mu$ of the prism is:
