Snell's Law: The index of refraction for a certain material is 1.399 for red light and 1.432 for blue light. Light containing both of these colors is traveling in vacuum and strikes a flat sheet of this material. Find the angle separating the two colors in the refracted light in the sheet if the angle of incidence is 60.00°.

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
