A composite prism ABC is made up of two identical right-angled prisms ABD and ADC made up of different materials of refractive indices √and µ respectively. A ray of light is incident on face AB of this prism at 60° as shown in the figure. It is observed that the
final emergent ray grazes along face AC. Find the value of µ.
