    The refractive index of the material of a prism
    is ``\sqrt2`` 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 entering 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 :-
    (1) 60°
    (2) 45°
    (3) 30°
    (4) zero
