A horizontal incident beam consisting of white light passes through an equilateral prism, like the one shown

Question:

A horizontal incident beam consisting of white light passes through an equilateral prism, like the one shown in Figure 26-69. What is the dispersion (Î¸v - Î¸r) of the outgoing beam if the prism's index of refraction is nv = 1.505 for violet light and nr = 1.421 for red light?
