13. Here, following Ref. (Chap.), we write photon wave vector (and momentum) for light propagating in the prism to be simply np times the corresponding quantities in vacuum. A basic discussion related to momentum of electromagnetic field with different points of view is available in the literature. See, for example, J. D. Jackson, Classical Electrodynamics, 2nd ed. (Wiley, New York, 1975), Chap. and V. L. Gurevich and A. Thellung, Physica A 188, 654 (1992).
