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 $δ = 60^{o}$ (see Figure- $1$ ). The angle of minimum deviation for red light from the same prism is $δ_{\min} = 30^{o}$ (see Figure- $2$ ). The refractive index of the prism material for blue light is $\sqrt{3}$ . Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
