Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

polygenic inheritance and pleiotropy polygenic inheritance is a non-Mendelian form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes. Polygenic inheritance refers to the kind of inheritance in which the trait is produced from the cumulative effects of many genes in contrast to monogenic inheritancewherein the trait results from the expression of one gene (or one gene pair). In humans‚ height‚ weight‚ and skin color are examples of polygenic inheritance‚ which does
