Reason
Pythagoras Theorem (R is the hypotenuse, s is the
base and L/2 is the height if right triangle)
S^ 2 can be replaced by (R-d) ^2 because s-R-d
Rearrangement, L^ 2/4 moves to the right hand side
from the second step
By expanding (R-d)^ 2
By solving the 4th step, and rearranging the terms
value of R is reached
s2 + (L/2)2 = R?
(R-d) + (L/4) = R²

Transcribed Image Text:1.) Examine Figure 2 in the Background Information section of this lab. There are
two right triangles in red. These two right triangles share the same hypotenuse
of length h. Using this fact, and a little trigonometry, derive Snell's Law. (Hint:
You will need to substitute in 2 = v/f and v = c/n.)
Snell's Law: n, sin 0, = nr sin 0,
