a) δmin=2α1ϕ=2sin1[(nsinγ1)]ϕ=\delta_{min}=2\alpha_1-\phi=2\cdot \sin^{-1}[(n\sin\gamma_1)]-\phi=


=2sin1[(1.5sin(ϕ/2))]ϕ==2\cdot \sin^{-1}[(1.5\cdot\sin(\phi/2))]-\phi=


=2sin1[(1.5sin(60/2))]60=37.18°=2\cdot \sin^{-1}[(1.5\cdot\sin(60/2))]-60=37.18° . Answer


b) γ1=ϕ/2=60/2=30°\gamma_1=\phi/2=60/2=30° . Answer


c) α1=γ2=sin1[(1.5sin(60/2))]=48.59°\alpha_1=\gamma_2=\sin^{-1}[(1.5\cdot\sin(60/2))]=48.59° . Answer
