The transmitted ray that exits the hypotenuse of the prism makes an angle of 0 17.4" with the direction of the incident beam. What is the index of refraction of the prism? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) 45.0 (b) What If? In part (a), we assumed the ray was monochromatic. Consider instead the case where the ray was composed of white light. Because the index of refraction differs for different wavelengths, the white light would be dispersed into constituent colors. Assume the index of refraction for blue wavelengths is 1.01m and for red wavelengths it is 0.99n, where is the index of refraction found in part (a). What is the angular spread (in degrees) between red and blue light exiting the prism?
