A ray of white light traveling through air enters a triangular prism that has an index of refraction of 1.517 for the red end of the spectrum and 1.532 for the violet endand an apex angle of 61.5 degrees. If the ray has an angle of incidence of 44.8 degrees with respect to the normal of the interface boundary, what is the angularseparation between the red and violet ends of the spectrum upon exiting the prism? Measure this in degrees to 2 decimal places.
