Answer:
blue θ₂ = 22.26º
red θ₂ = 22.79º
Explanation:
When a light beam passes from one material medium to another, it undergoes a deviation from the path, described by the law of refraction
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
where n₁ and n₂ are the incident and transmitted media refractive indices and θ are the angles in the media
let's apply this equation to each wavelength
λ = blue
in this case n₁ = 1, n₂ = 1,645
sin θ₂ = n₁/ n₂ sin₂ θ₁
let's calculate
sin θ₂ = 1 / 1,645 sint 38.55
sin θ₂ = 0.37884
θ₂ = sin⁻¹ 0.37884
θ₂ = 22.26º
λ = red
n₂ = 1,609
sin θ₂ = 1 / 1,609 sin 38.55
sin θ₂ = 0.3873
θ₂ = sim⁻¹ 0.3873
θ₂ = 22.79º
the refracted rays are between these two angles
