![**Light Refraction in Equiangular Glass Prism**
A ray of light strikes the midpoint of one face of an equiangular (60°–60°–60°) glass prism (n = 1.5) at an angle of incidence of 34°.
**(a) Path of Light Through the Prism**
- **First Surface:**
- Angle of incidence (\(\theta\) incidence) = \[ \_\_\_^\circ \]
- Angle of refraction (\(\theta\) refraction) = \[ \_\_\_^\circ \]
- **Second Surface:**
- Angle of incidence (\(\theta\) incidence) = \[ \_\_\_^\circ \]
- Angle of refraction (\(\theta\) refraction) = \[ \_\_\_^\circ \]
**(b) Reflected Light at Each Surface**
If a small fraction of light is also reflected at each surface, determine the angles of reflection:
- \(\theta\) reflection = \[ \_\_\_^\circ \] (first surface)
- \(\theta\) reflection = \[ \_\_\_^\circ \] (second surface)
