A prism has refracting angle 30^(@) and ...

A prism has refracting angle `30^(@)` and `mu = 2`. One of the mat surface of the prism is polished to make it reflecting. Find the incidence angle of a light ray on other mat surface of prism so that after reflection the ray will retrace the path of incident ray.
