The refractive index of the material of a prism is `sqrt(2)` and the angle of the prism is `30^(@)`. One of the two refracting surfaces of the prism is made a mirror inwards, by silver coating. A beam of monochromatic light enterying the prism from the other face will retrace its path (after reflection from the silvered surface) if its angle of incidence on the prism is
