A narrow beam of white light enters a prism made of crown glass at a 45 degree incident angle, as shown below. At what angles from perpendicular to the exiting surface, do the red (660 nm) and violet (410 nm) components of the light emerge from the prism? Hint Red light is refracted at refracted at the angles of refraction of two colors is degrees from the perpendicular; violet light is degrees from the perpendicular, and the difference between degrees. Incident light 45° 60° 60° Red (660 nm) 60° Violet (410 nm)
