At face A B, i=0. So, r=0, i.e., no bending will take place. So, light beam will be incident on face AC at an angle  45^{\circ} . The face AC will not transmit the light for which $\mathrm{i>\theta_c, i.e., \operatorname{sin~i}>\sin \theta_c}  or   \mathrm{\sin 45^{\circ}>(1 / \mu) i.e., \mu>\sqrt{2}(=1.41)}

Now as \mathrm{\mu_R<\mu} while \mathrm{ \mu_G}  and \mathrm{ \mu_B>\mu}  so red will be transmitted through the face AC while green and blue will be reflected. So, the prism will separate red colour from green and blue.
