A beam of white light goes from air and is incident at an angle of 45 to a 9.5 mm thick panel of crown glass.

A beam of white light goes from air and is incident at an angle of 45 to a 9.5 mm thick panel of crown glass. The light travels through the first panel of crown glass through an air-filled gap of 10 cm before traveling through a second 9.5 mm thick panel of crown glass. What is the width of the rainbow-like dispersion of light that would appear on the other side of the second panel of glass?

Index of refraction for red (660 nm) light through crown glass is 1.512

Index of refraction for violet (410 nm) light through crown glass is 1.530

HINT: I highly suggest drawing a diagram for this particular problem.
