Experts kindly help me solve these two questions.

Dear Student,
1. Given,
Angle of incidence, i1=48oRefracting angle or angle of prism, A = 60oLet the angle of deviation be δ, thenδ=i1+i2-Awhere, i2 is the angle of emergenceAt minimum deviation (δm), angle of incidence = angle of emergenceδm=2i1-A=2×48o-60o=36o.
2.  Given,
Angle of minimum deviation to be 36o
Prism is an equilateral prism, i.e., A = 60o.
So,δm=36o; A=60oUsing the relationδm=2i1-Awhere, i1 is the angle of incidencei1=A+δm2=60o+36o2=48o
