A light ray traveling in air is incident on one face of a right angle prism with index of refraction n = 1.50, as shown in Figure P22.54, and the ray follows the path shown in the figure. Assuming θ = 60.0° and the base of the prism is mirrored, determine the angle ? made by the outgoing ray with the normal to the right face of the prism.FIGURE P22.54
