(a) The index of refraction for violet light in silica flint glass is 1.66, and that for red light is 1.62. What is the angular spread (in degrees) of visible light passing through a prism of apex angle 60.0° if the angle of incidence is 54.0°? (b) What If? What is the angular spread (in degrees) of visible light passing through a prism of apex angle 60.0° if the angle of incidence is 90°?
