a

μ12+sin2e=μ22

b

If the ray just fails to emerge out of the face AC of the prism, for μ2=3, angle of refraction of face AB is sin-123

c

μ12+cos2e=μ22

d

μ22+sin2e=μ12

answer is A, D.

By Snell's law,

                    μ2μ1=sin 90sin r1

or              sin r1=μ1μ2

Similarly,     sin esin r2=μ2

or                  sin r2=sin eμ2

or      sin90-r1=sin eμ2

or                 cos r1=sin eμ2

or        1-sin2r1=sin eμ2

or      1-μ1μ22=sin eμ2

          μ12+sin2e=μ22

If, e=900 and μ2=3, then μ1=2

Now, using,  sin r1=μ1μ2=23

r1=sin-123
