State the conditions under which total internal reflection occurs. One face of a prism with a refracting angle of 30^(@) is coated with silver. A ray incident on another face at an angle of 45^(@) is refracted and reflected from the silver coated face and retraces its path. Find the refractive index of the material of the prism.

Angle of a prism is 30^(@) and its refractive index is sqrt(2) and one of the surface is silvered. At what angle of incidence, a ray should be incident on one surface so that after reflection from the silvered surface, it retraces its path ?
