Step 1: Given that the prism has angles of $45^{circ}-90^{circ}-45^{circ}$ and the emerging ray

A horizontal beam of light enters a $45^{\circ}-90^{\circ}-45^{\circ}$ prism at the center of its long side, as shown in FlGURE $26-68 .$ The emerging ray moves in a direction that is $34^{\circ}$ below the horizontal. What is the index of refraction of this prism?
