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:

  • A
    $2 \sin A$
  • B
    $2 \cos A$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \cos A$
  • D
    $\tan A$
