An Optical Spectrometer. You and your team are tasked with characterizing an equilateral, triangular prism to be used in an optical spectrometer. An optical spectrometer contains a dispersive element (in this case, the prism) that separates an incoming beam of light into its constituent wavelengths (or colors), and a photocell that measures the intensity of each color (wavelength) by measuring the intensity of the dispersed light as a function of angle. The index of refraction of the prism material you are using depends on the wavelength as n()=(1.113104nm1)(nm)+1.628 An incident beam of white light impinges on the surface (see drawing) at an angle of 44.8 degrees below the normal. The prism is in air (n=1.000) (a) Relative to the prism base (i.e, the horizontal in the drawing), at what angle does red light (=660.0 nm) emerge on the opposite (b) Relative to the prism base (i.e. the horizontal in the drawing), at what angle does violet light (=410,0 nm) emerge on the opposite side? side
