The refrating angle of a prism is `40^@` and the refractive index of its material is given by
`mu=1.25 + b/(delta^2)`
When a ray of light is incident normally on the face AB of the prism,after refraction through the prism,the ray of light just grazes along the face AC as shown in Fig.3.20.
.
Find the critical angle for the material of the prism.
