Question:

What experiment could be used to determine the refractive index of a medium

Author: Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt



Answer:

Shine a ray of light though a glass block a range of angles of incidence and angles of refraction should be obtained for each angle recorded, the sin of the angle should be calculated then a graph can be plotted of sinθ1 against sinθ2 the gradient of the graph will be the refractive index of the material
