    2-8 Refraction and polarization of light 5. Experiment Results A. Linearity of light 1. The light beam does go straight when we tested on the angle board. 2. As the source of light beam was getting farther away from the slit‚ the beam becomes narrower and shorter in addition to fading. This is because light particles escape more when they travel to go through the slit. B. Law of reflection Angle of incidence is the angle formed by a ray incident on a surface

    Refractive Index: Refractive Index formula is use to find the change of speed of light as it travels from air into glass. It measure how much light slows down when it enters denser medium such as glass. The formulae is written as: To find out the refractive index‚ substitute these into the equation; The speed of light travels in air is 3 x 10^8-1 The speed of light travels in glass is 2 x 10^8 ms^-1 Refractive Index (Glass): 3 x 10^8 / 2 x 10^8 = 1.5 When light enters glass‚ its reflective index

    rectangular block of a transparent material. Aim: - To investigate the lateral displacement for different angles and how the displacement depends on the angle of incidence when a ray of light enters the Perspex block. Scientific Background: - Refraction occurs when the speed changes when the lights travels from one medium to another medium. If the light travels from a medium to a denser medium‚ the light slows down and consequently is refracted towards the normal. If the light travels from one

    wavelength of light. Because the velocity of light in air is always greater than that through a liquid‚ the refractive index is a number greater than 1; for example‚ hexane n20D 1.3751. The superscript 20 indicates that the measurement was made at 20 oC‚ and the subscript D refers to the yellow D-line of a sodium vapor lamp‚ light with a wavelength of 589 nm. The measurement is made with a refractometer using a few drops of liquid. Compensation is made within the instrument for the fact that white
