12. A parallel beam of light is incident from air at an angle $$\alpha $$ on the side $$PQ$$  of a right angled triangular prism of refractive index $$n = \sqrt 2 .$$   Light undergoes total internal reflection in the prism at the face $$PR$$  when $$\alpha $$ has a minimum value of 45°. The angle $$\,\theta $$ of the prism is
