Light is incident along the normal to face AB of a prism that has a refractive index n and an angle α = 30°, as shown in Figure 23.54. When the prism is in air, the light undergoes total internal reflection. However, when the prism is immersed in water, a faint refracted ray emerges at an angle of 80° to the normal of face AC. (a) Determine n. (b) What material was used to make the prism?
