Question: Procedure Notes: Keep the light source set to Ray throughout this experiment. Medium 1 = Space on top in simulation Medium 2 = Space on

Procedure Notes: Keep the light source set to "Ray" throughout this experiment. Medium 1 = Space on top in simulation Medium 2 = Space on bottom in simulation Predicting the Refraction of Light Between Mediums: 1. Predict if the light will bend toward or away from normal for each of the situations in Table 1. 2. Use the protractor to help you set the angle of incidence to 30o for each situation. 3. Change through the different types of materials as outlined in Table 1 and record the angle of refraction (the angle of "incidence" on the other side) for each situation. 4. Determine if your prediction matched the outcome. Calculating the Index of Refraction for an Unknown Material 1. Set Medium 1 to Air and Medium 2 to Mystery A. 2. By observing the angle of refraction, determine if the index of refraction for Mystery A is larger or smaller than that of Air and record in Table 2. 3. Use Snell's Law to Determine the index of refraction for Mystery A. Record your data and results in Table 2. 4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3, but this time set Medium 1 to Glass and Medium 2 to Mystery B. The index of refraction for Mystery A is: a) 1.0 b) 1.3 c) 1.4 d) 1.5 e) 2.4
