To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry of the Prism We have a prism with an angle \( A = 5^\circ \). A ray of light is incident at an angle \( \theta \) on one face of the prism and emerges normally from the other face. ### Step 2: Identify Angles When the ray emerges normally from the second face, the angle of refraction \( R_2 = 0^\circ \). The angle of incidence on the second face is equal to the angle of the prism \( A \) minus the angle of refraction \( R_2 \): \[ ...
