Question:
The following will provide you with verification of Shell's law. Indeed, there must be some relation between the indexes of refraction and the amount of light bending. Use setup A from Part B. 1. Flash the light at selected angles of incidence and measure the refracted angles. 2. Record the measured angles in column 5th of the table. 3. Calculate indicated quantities and formulate a pattern (have TI in deg mode).
- Write a general pattern using highlighted columns (Snell's law) that can be used to calculate any of the quantities involved. Provide a theorem of why the law holds to be true.
Trials | Incident angle theta | Use Ti to find .Record three digits after the decimal place | Find the product of nisintheta | Measured refracted theta angles for each angle of incidence | Use Ti to find theta | Find the product of nrtheta | Compare highlighted columns |
