![**(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 46.0°? See figure below.
*Diagram explanation:*
The diagram shows a prism with visible light entering from the left. The light splits into its constituent colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet), each bending at different angles and exiting toward a screen on the right. The angles of deviation for red and violet light are marked.
**Answer:** [Textbox for answer entry] °
**(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°?
