The angle of a prism is \(A\) and one of its refracting surfaces is silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence \(2A\) on the first surface return through the same path after suffering reflection at the second (silvered) surface. The refractive index of the material is:
1. \(2\sin{A}\)
2. \(2\cos{A}\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2}\cos{A}\)
4. \(\tan{A}\)

The angle of incidence for a ray of light at a refracting surface of a prism is \(45^{\circ}\). The angle of the prism is \(60^{\circ}\). If the ray suffers minimum deviation through the prism, the angle of minimum deviation and refractive index of the material of the prism respectively, are:
1. \(45^{0},~\sqrt{2}\) 2. \(30^{0},~\sqrt{2}\)
3. \(30^{0},~\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) 4. \(45^{0},~\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
