To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the logical flow of the concepts involved in the refraction of light through a prism. ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry of the Prism The prism is an equilateral triangle, which means each angle is 60 degrees. Let's denote the angle of the prism as \( A = 60^\circ \). ### Step 2: Determine the Angle of Incidence According to the problem, the angle of incidence \( I \) is \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the angle of the prism. Therefore, we can calculate \( I \): \[ ...
