A ray of white light traveling through air enters a triangular prism that has an index of refraction of 1.512 for the red end of the spectrum and 1.539 for the violet end and an apex angle of 64.1 degrees. If the ray has an angle of incidence of 49.8 degrees with respect to the normal of the interface boundary, what is the angular separation between the red and violet ends of the spectrum upon exiting the prism? Measure this in degrees to 2 decimal places.
