Learning Goal: I understand...
- How are waves energy transport phenomena?
- How can wave boundary behavior be used to explain absorption, reflection, and transmission of light?
- How do the basic optic phenomena of reflection and refraction explain the formation of images by mirrors and lenses?
- How does light interference demonstrate the wave nature of light?
Today:
- Index of Refraction Lab
- Given: A solid rectangular block of transparent plastic or glass (or a transparent liquid in a transparent container), a laser, a box of sewing pins, a protractor, meter stick, a white opaque screen.
Find: The index of refraction of the transparent material, and the speed of light in the transparent material. (Use this lab as a guide). The investigation must involve an analysis of the data plotted on an appropriate graph.
