              . Having found the secondary, colour-producing cardinal ray for the glass prism, Harriot turns to the water-filled prism. He first explores the possibility that the ratio between the primary and secondary cardinals for the water prism is the same as the ratio between the primary and secondary cardinals in the glass prism. He finds that this does not in fact accord with observation. Thus he will follow the same procedure as in the glass prism to find the secondary cardinal. </s>
