In the experiment, we will be using Snell's law to measure the index of refraction of a material. The incident angle 8, and refraction angle 82 are related by n₁ sin 0₁ = n₂ sin 0₂. Since the angles are measured with uncertainties, the sine of the angles also have uncertainty. The following exercise should help you to get familiar with the uncertainty calculations in this lab. If 0+50=30°± 0.5°, convert 0 into radians. 30° = 0.5⁰ = rad. rad. Calculate the value of sin 8 using degree and radians. sin = You should get the same value for sin if is in radians.

The uncertainty in the calculated value for the refracted angle, θt1, is primarily due to the uncertainty in the measurement of the length, d. Determine the primary source of uncertainty in the measurement of the exit angle, θt2. Explain why this is a source of error.
What minimum path length is needed to introduce a phase shift of 205° in light of wavelength 566 nm? (Give your answer in nm.) What phase shift will that path difference you calculated in part (a) introduce in light of wavelength 799 nm? (Give you answer in degree.)
Two radio antennas separated by d = 300 m, as shown in Figure P24.7, simultaneously broadcast identical signals at the same wavelength. A car travels due north along a straight line at position x = 1 000 m from the center point between the antennas, and its radio receives the signals. (a) If the car is at the position of the second maximum after that at point o when it has traveled a distance of y = 400 m northward, what is the wavelength of the signals? (b) How much farther must the car travel from this position to encounter the next minimum in reception? Hint: Do not use the small angle approximation in this problem.

When dots are placed on a page from a laser printer, they must be close enough so that you do not see the individual dots of ink. To do this, the separation of the dots must be less than Raleigh's criterion. Take the pupil of the eye to be 3.4 mm and the distance from the paper to the eye of 46 cm; find the maximum separation (in cm) of two dots such that they cannot be resolved. How many dots per inch (dpi) does this correspond to?
