2. Based on your data, what is the block's refractive index? Explain your process. Hint: Check: does your value for ng seem like a reasonable value for a block that's most likely made of glass or transparent plastic? Some research may be handy, but of course negative n's and n < 1 are both impossible.

Scientists are conducting an experiment to determine if their hypothesis that a certain constant in the universe is 1.65. the uncertainties in the experiment result in a relative uncertainty of no more than 2%. After several experimental trials, the scientists obtained an average value of 1.7 for the constant. What can be said about the scientists hypothesis? Hint calculate the percent error and compare it to the relative uncertainty.
