Given small samples of three liquids, you are asked to determine their refractive indexes. However, you do not have enough of each liquid to measure the angle of refraction for light refracting from air into the liquid. Instead, for each liquid, you take a rectangular block of glass (n = 1.52) and place a drop of the liquid on the top surface of the block. You shine a laser beam with wavelength 638 nm in vacuum at one side of the block and measure the largest angle of incidence for which there is total internal reflection at the interface between the glass and the liquid. Your results are given in the table the table below. Liquid Liquid A B C Oa () 52.0 44.3 36.3 ▼ Part A What is the refractive index of liquid A at this wavelength? nA = 195| ΑΣΦ ? Air Glass

Refraction of Light

Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.

Angle of Refraction

Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic radiation whereas part of it is perceived by humans. Visible spectrum defined by humans lies in a range of 400 to 700 nm wavelengths.

Index of Refraction of Diamond

Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the best conductors of heat and have a very high melting point.
