isaac physics help with optics
Taking the refractive index of the prisms as 1.5, find the smallest angle to the horizontal in degrees at which light can be incident on the first prism and fail to emerge from the periscope. Assume that the rays do not hit the edge of any of the 'tube' sections of the periscope at any point.im really stuck on this question and would love some help
Really hard to answer this without a diagram or more information. Perhaps a link?

The answer is sin(90) / sin(45) = 1.41
