A ray of monochromatic light is incident on the face of a prism in the shape of an equilateral triangle (that is, the apex angle of the prism is 60.0°). The incidence angle of the light ray is 76.6°. The prism is made of a transparent material with an index of refraction of 1.516 (at the light ray's wavelength). (a) Calculate the angle of refraction at the first surface (in degrees). (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.) ° (b) Calculate the angle of incidence at the second surface (in degrees). (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.) ° (c) Calculate the angle of refraction at the second surface (in degrees). (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.) ° (d) Calculate the angle between the incident and emerging rays (in degrees). (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.)
