To solve the problem of calculating the speed of light in the prism, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the angle of the prism Given that the prism is equilateral, the angle of the prism \( A \) is \( 60^\circ \). ### Step 2: Calculate the angle of incidence The angle of incidence \( i \) is given as \( \frac{5}{4} \) times the angle of the prism. Therefore: \[ ...
