The cross-section of a prism with index of refraction $1.5$ is an equilateral triangle, as shown above. A ray of light comes in horizontally from air into the prism, and has the opportunity to leave the prism, at an angle $\theta$ with respect to the surface of the triangle. Find $\theta$ in degrees and round to the nearest whole number.

A right-triangulated prism made of benzene sits on a table. The hypotenuse makes an angle of $30^\circ$ with the horizontal table. An incoming ray of light hits the hypotenuse horizontally, and leaves the prism from the vertical leg at an acute angle of $ \gamma $ with respect to the vertical leg. Find $\gamma$, in degrees, to the nearest integer. The index of refraction of benzene is $1.50$.
