$A$ glass prism has a right-triangular cross-section $ABC$,with $\angle A=90^{\circ}$. $A$ ray of light parallel to the hypotenuse $BC$ and incident on the side $AB$ emerges grazing the side $AC$. Another ray,again parallel to the hypotenuse $BC$,incident on the side $AC$ suffers total internal reflection at the side $AB$. Which one of the following must be true about the refractive index $\mu$ of the material of the prism?
