Hello, I have attached 2 documents here. 1. Snell's law paper that we worked in the class, You could use that as a resource for the introduction part. Second document is the word document where the i
Snell’s Law
Experiment #10
Introduction:
Experimental Setup:
Lens, Cylindrical D-Lens pasco OS-8492
Laser
Ray table with stand
Viewing screen with 2 binder clips
Table jack
Optics Track
Diagram: Procedure part 1 Procedure part 2
Experimental Procedure:
Place the ray table and viewing screen on top of the optics track.
Place the laser on top of the table jack. Lift and aligned so that the laser beam will go straight through the middle of the set up.
Place the cylindrical D-lens on top and in the center of the ray table so that the laser beam will go straight through the middle of the lens.
Collect 5 data points from the laser beam hitting the straight edge of the cylindrical lens as it is rotated and 5 data points from the laser beam hitting the rounded side of the cylindrical lens as it is rotated.
Record in data table.
