$A$ prism has a refracting angle of $30^\circ$ and a refractive index of $\sqrt{2}$. One of its faces is silvered. At what angle of incidence $i$ should a ray be incident on the other face so that it retraces its path after reflection from the silvered face?

  • A
    $30^\circ$
  • B
    $60^\circ$
  • C
    $45^\circ$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1}(\sqrt{1.5})$
