A 45°-90°-45° prism is constructed from a synthetic resin. As shown in the figure, a light beam that enters the prism at the midpoint of the long side and parallel to the base exits the prism at an angle of 28° below the horizontal. What is the index of refraction of this prism? 1.39 Have you drawn a figure showing all angles and established any relationships between the angles? Have you written a Snell's law statement for the light as it enters and exits the prism? Depending on how you solve the problem, you may need the identities tan a = sin a / cos a and sin(a + 6) = sin a cos pi cos a sin ß. Additional Materials Reading
