PHY 112 L Name: Kyle Pfannkuch Class Day: Monday 3:15 Instructor: Lee Brown Lab 8: Refraction 1. Testable Question: How is angle of refraction (Θ2) related to the angle of incidence (Θ1)? 2. Hypothesis: As the angle of incidence (Θ1) increases then the angle of refraction (Θ2) will reduce relative to the angle of incidence. 3. Variables: Work with your team. List and identify the different variables used in the experiment. Be sure to include each variable’s symbol in parentheses. Control(s): Index of Refraction for glass (n) (1.53) Index of refraction for water (n) (1.33) Index of refraction for air (n) (1.0) Independent: Angle of incidence (Θ1) Dependent: Angle of refraction (Θ2) 4. Experimental Design: i Θ1 Θ2 sinΘ1 SinΘ2 1 – 8 1 – 8 5. Materials: A bullet point list of items; prepared on your own. Pencil
PHY 112 L Paper Pins Glass Plexiglass Cardboard Protractor Dish Water Ruler/straight edge 6. Procedure: Air to Glass 1. Outline prism on piece of paper and draw normal to the object near the corner. 2. Draw and measure 8 total incident angles. 3. Place two pins at one of the angles of incidence, one at vertex and the other at the end of the line. 4. Look through the prism with a closed eye placing the pin so that it covers the other pin at end of the angle. 5. Draw the ray from the normal to where the pin was placed measuring the angle. Repeat for all 8 rays 6. Sin(Θ2)=(n1/n2)sin(Θ1) Air to Water 1. Outline dish on piece of paper and draw normal to the object thru the middle. 2. Draw and measure 8 total incident angles. 3. Fill the dish with water and place two pins at one of the angles of incidence, one at vertex and the other at the end of the line. 4. Look through the dish with a closed eye placing the pin so that it covers the other pin at end of the angle. 5. Draw the ray from the normal to where the pin was placed measuring the angle. Repeat for all 8 rays 6. Sin(Θ2)=(n1/n2)sin(Θ1 7.
