Problem

A parallel beam of light is incident from air at an angle α\alpha on the side PQPQ of a right angled triangular prism of refractive index n=2n=\sqrt2. Light undergoes total internal reflection in the prism at the face PRPR when α\alpha has a minimum value of 45∘45^\circ. The angle θ\theta of the prism is
