Given a regular prism \( A B C D A_1 B_1 C_1 D_1 \) with base \( ABCD \). The planes \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are perpendicular to \( B_1 D \) and pass through vertices \( A \) and \( D_1 \) respectively. Let \( F \) and \( H \) be the intersection points of the planes \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) with the diagonal \( B_1 D \), respectively, where \( DF < DH \).

a) Find the ratio \( B_1 H : DF \).

b) Additionally, suppose a sphere with radius \( \frac{3}{2} \) is tangent to all lateral faces of the prism, as well as to the planes \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\). Find the length of \( B_1 D \) and the volume of the prism \( A B C D A_1 B_1 C_1 D_1 \).
