A ray of white light traveling through air enters a triangular
prism that has an index of refraction of 1.516 for the red end of
the spectrum and 1.538 for the violet end and an apex angle of 61.6
degrees. If the ray has an angle of incidence of 48.2 degrees with
respect to the normal of the interface boundary, what is the
angular separation between the red and violet ends of the spectrum
upon exiting the prism? Measure this in degrees to 2 decimal
places.
