Light rays travel undeviated if the refractive index of the medium does not change for any value of angle of incidence.
i.e. n? = n?
1.2 + 10.8*10? ¹? /λ² = 1.45 + 1.8*10? ¹? /λ²
9.0*10? ¹? /λ² = 0.25
λ² = 36*10? ¹?
λ = 6*10? m = 600 nm

μ = sin (A + δm)/2) / sin (A/2)
Since, δm = A
μ = sin (A) / sin (A/2) = (2sin (A/2)cos (A/2) / sin (A/2)
μ = 2cos (A/2

By shell's law
(sin θ)/ (sin θ') = 4/3 . (i)
For TIR on second surface
sin θ' > sin θc
(θ' + θ' = 90)
sin (90 - θ') > sin θc
cos θ' > sin θc
1 - sin²θ' > sin²θc (By equation (i) )
1 - (3/4 sin θ)² > sin²θc
[sin θc = 3/4]
1 - (9/16)sin²θ > (9/16)
1 - 9/16 > (9/16)sin²θ
7/16 > (9/16)sin²θ
sinθ < 7/3

As height of image is less than height of image and has same orientation as that of object, so mirror must be convex.
