A ray of white light traveling through air enters a triangular prism that has an index of refraction of 1.313 for the red end of the spectrum and 1.349 for the violet endand an apex angle of 71.8 degrees. If the ray has an angle of incidence of 60.3degrees with respect to the normal of the interface boundary, what is the angularseparation between the red and violet ends of the spectrum within the prism? Measure this in degrees to 3 decimal places.
