3=sin (60°)sin r    r=30°

Since, θc=sin-113=0.577

At point Q, angle of incidence inside the prism is i=45°.

Since, sin i=12 is greater than sin θc=13, ray gets totally internally reflected at face CD. Path of ray of light after point Q is shown in figure.

From the figure, we can see that angle between incident ray OP and emergent ray RS is 90°.
