b. a. Given the pattern of light on the far side of the prism, is the index of refraction inside the prism higher or lower than the index of refraction outside the prism? List at least one thing that is wrong with this diagram given what we expect the dependence of n on the wavelength of light to be (and assuming the prism is made of a uniform material). c. List at least one thing that is right with this diagram given what we expect the dependence of n on the wavelength of light to be (and assuming the prism is made of a uniform material).
