A light ray enters through a right angled prism at point $P$ with the angle of incidence $30^{\circ}$ as shown in figure. It travels through the prism parallel to its base $B C$ and emerges along the face $A C$. The refractive index of the prism is:
  • $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • D
