(a) A light ray is incident on the left side of the prism shown in the figure below. The prism is a right triangle, with two of its angles measuring 45°. The transmitted ray that exts the hypotenuse of the prism makes an angle of 0- 17.4" with the direction of the incident beam. What is the index of refraction of the prism? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places) 45,0 (b) What If? In part (a), we assumed the ray was monochromatic. Consider instead the case where the ray was composed of white light. Because the index of refraction differs for differenti wavelengths, the white light would be dispersed into constituent colors.

Light, when incident on a given surface, presents a reflected and a refracted component. When the reflected beam is perpendicular to the refracted beam, the angle of incidence θᵢ is called Brewster's angle.
