Light impinges upon a regular right pentagonal prism as illustrated. The light is incident upon the surface at an angle of 35° relative to the normal to the surface. Determine the angle 0g, measured relative to the normal, at which the light exits the prism. The prism has an index of refraction of 1.8.
