Transcribed Image Text:A prism made of flint glass has a cross section that is an equilateral triangle. The index of refraction for red and violet light respectively in flint glass is 1.662 and 1.698. If as shown in the figure, the angle of incidence in air for both colors of light is 73.5°, determine the
angle at which both colors emerge back into air after traveling through the prism.
