- Students in a lab group are given a plastic cube with a hollow cube-shaped space in the middle that fills about half the volume of the cube. The index of refraction of the plastic is known. The hollow space is filled with a gas, and the students are asked to collect the data needed to find the index of refraction of the gas. The students take the following set of measurements: Angle of incidence of the light in the air above the plastic block: 30° Angle of refraction of the beam as it enters the plastic from the air: 45° Angle of refraction of the beam as it enters the plastic from the gas: 45° The three measurements are shared with a second lab group.
