Investigating Refraction- Bending light

Aim: 

To investigate how light is affected by changing the substance it is travelling through.

Equipment: 

Ray box, power source, glass perspex block, single-slit ray slide.

Method:

Collect the equipment from your teacher, and set them up to produce a single beam of light.

Part A: Going from Air to Glass

1. Place the glass block in the shaded area below 

2. Place the ray box at the top of the page and shine the beam so it travels along the 10degrees line to the centre of the protractor (this is your angle of incidence, 1degrees)
