Experiment 9: THE TANGENT GALVANOMETER; PURPOSE: In this experiment we will measure the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth’s Magnetic field by the use of an instrument called a tangent galvanometer. INTRODUCTION: A tangent galvanometer consists of a number of turns of copper wire wound on a hoop. At the center of the hoop a compass is mounted. When a direct current flows through the wires‚ a magnetic field is induced in the space surrounding the loops of

from the laser did not bend when the bottom of the prism was perpendicular to the light source. However‚ the light did bend when we started turning the prism in 10⁰ increments. This is when I noticed a source of error. At times the exact degree of reflection was hard to read for two reasons. First‚ the refracted light can be hard to measure

Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light‚ sound and water waves. The law of reflection says that for specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected. Mirrors exhibit specular reflection. In acoustics‚ reflection causes echoes and is used in sonar. In geology

Reflection Experiment Background Information The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence will be equal to the angle of reflection. I.e. the angle that the light strikes the reflective surface at will be the same as the angle that it leaves it at. Aim To investigate the law of reflection and evaluate its accuracy. Hypothesis The law of reflection will be correct. Apparatus and Materials Light Box Mirror Protractor Blank Paper Safety This experiment is

CHAPTER – 10 LIGHT-REFLECTION & REFRACTION Light is a form of energy‚ which enable us to see the object. In this chapter we will study the phenomena of reflection and refraction using the property of light i.e. straight line propagation (Light wave travel from one point to another‚ along a straight line). Reflection of Light When the light is allowed to fall on highly polished surface‚ such as mirror‚ most of the light gets reflected. normal Laws of Reflection 1. 2. The angle

Aim To determine the critical angle of glass using a glass block Principle and Hypothesis The Snell’s Law of Refraction says that – At the boundary between any two given materials the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction is constant for any particular wavelength. The refractive index is determined by the formula – R = Sin i Sin r Where i = angle of incidence of the ray of light r = angle of refraction of the ray of light The

through the slit. B. Law of reflection Angle of incidence is the angle formed by a ray incident on a surface and a perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence. Angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal ray. The bean was seen and reflected from 10~40 degrees by 10 degrees interval from left and right. In this case‚ the plane of incidence is made by the incidence ray and reflection ray. The reflected ray is in

8th physics light reflection refraction eyes defect and dispersion The ray of light which falls on the mirror surface is called incident ray. The point at which the incident ray strikes the mirror is called the point of incidence. The ray of light which is sent back by the mirror is called the reflected ray. The ‘normal’ is a line drawn at right angles to the mirror surface at the point of incidence. The angle between incident ray and normal is called the angle of incidence. The angle between
