A plane polarized blue light ray is incident on a prism such that there is no reflection from the surface of the prism. The angle of deviation of the emergent ray is 
= 60° (see Figure-1). The angle of minimum deviation for red light from the same prism is 
min = 30° (see Figure-2). The refractive index of the prism material for blue light is 
. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
A
The blue light is polarized in the plane of incidence.
B
The angle of the prism is 45°.
C
The refractive index of the material of the prism for red light is 
.
.
D
The angle of refraction for blue light in air at the exit plane of the prism is 60°.
