Refer to Fig. As the ray `PQ` falls normally on face `AB`, at `angle I = 30^(@)`. It will be refracted along `RS` at on `AC` at `angle r`. The refracted ray emerge from face `AC` prism. As refraction occurs from denser to rarer medium. `:. mu = (sin r)/(sin i), sin r = mu sin i` `= 1.5 sin 30^(@) = 0.75` `r = sin^(-1)(0.75) = 48.6^(@)`
