are equal. It is made of silicate flint glass. Calculate the angle of
incidence  needed for blue light of wavelength 450.0 nm to go through the prism horizontally (parallel to the base).
When a narrow beam of white light hits the prism under this angle  what would be the angle of refraction  for
yellow light of wavelength 600.0 nm. An approximate equation for the angle of deviation
