A ray of white light is incident upon a rectangular block of glass with an index of refraction 1.519 for the red end of the spectrum and 1.538 for the violet end. Itstrikes the interface boundary between the air and glass at an angle of 54.5 degrees. Dispersion takes place and the light proceeds to travel through the glass untilreaching the opposite side. What is the thickness of the glass block if the spatial separation of the red and violet ends of the spectrum is 0.028 m at the exitboundary? Answer in meters to 2 decimal places.
