Question
A light ray traveling in air is incident on one face of a right-angle prism with index of refraction n = 1.49, as shown in the figure below, and the ray follows the path shown in the figure.
Assuming 0 = 59.5° and the base of the prism is mirrored, determine the angle p made by the outgoing ray with the normal to the right face of the prism.
