Angle of the prism

A parallel beam of light is incident from air at an angle α \alpha on the side P Q PQ of a right angled triangular prism of refractive index n = 2 n = \sqrt{2} . Light undergoes total internal reflection in the prism at the face PR when α \alpha has a minimum value of 4 5 45^{\circ} . What is the angle θ \theta of the prism in degrees?
