Purpose:

Find the index of refraction for acrylic.

Theoretical:

Snell's Law

Experimental

Use the following shapes to find the index of refraction for acrylic.

Experimental

• Describe your experimental setup such that another student could duplicate exactly how you made your measurements.

Analysis

• Show measurements (data) in an easy to read way (tables)
• Show sample calculations
• Graphs

Conclusion

This will be a paragraph(s) that provide your claim, your evidence, and your reasoning. Here's what we mean by claim, evidence, and reasoning: Claim- A statement that answers the original question or addresses the purpose of the experiment. Example: "I found that my reaction time was (what was your reaction time? . After ten trials, (did your reaction time decrease? increase? stay about the same?. Evidence- Data that supports your claim Example: The ruler fell between ( what was the general range of your data) . This displacement (increased, decreased, stayed the same) . Reasoning- Explain how the physics concepts link your evidence to your claim. How did your evidence back up your claim?
