In this lab report, you are required to record data and observations about the properties of light as it passes through different materials. You will fill in a data chart with information from each trial.
For each trial, you will have air on the top and a different material on the bottom of the screen. As the light rays pass from the air to the material, you need to make observations and note any changes you see. These observations could be related to how the light behaves or any visible effects.
Next, you need to measure the angle as the light passes from the top material to the bottom material using a protractor. Additionally, note the index of refraction for each material as indicated on the screen.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of what you need to do:
1. Trial One:
- Air on top
- Make observations as the light rays pass from the air to the selected material on the bottom.
- Measure the angle using a protractor.
- Note the index of refraction for each material.
2. Trial Two:
- Air on top
- Make observations as the light rays pass from the air to the selected material on the bottom.
- Measure the angle using a protractor.
- Note the index of refraction for each material.
3. Trial Three:
- Air on top
- Make observations as the light rays pass from the air to the selected material on the bottom.
- Measure the angle using a protractor.
- Note the index of refraction for each material.
Remember to fill in the data chart completely for each trial, including the angles and index of refraction values.
I hope this explanation helps you understand what you need to do in your Properties of Light Lab Report. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
