Examining the Refraction of Light in Prisms Questions 1. What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction? The angle of incidence (formed by the ray of light travelling though air into a slab of rectangular perspex) is not directly proportional to the angle of refraction (angle formed between the ray travelling though perspex and the normal). The graph of the plotted angles of incidence against the angles of refraction is not a straight line and therefore demonstrates

PDP Physics Lab Report – 01 NAME: Wang Xueqian DATE: 2014/06/21 Introduction In this experiment‚ we will investigate the relationship between the linear speed of an object and magnitude of centripetal force acting on it. We will use a stopper moving in a circle to create an upward force on the hanging mass; at equilibrium‚ the upward force on the mass will exactly equal the centripetal force.

The Physics 500 Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to show how to calculate the average speed and acceleration in six different races. In order to find average speed you will need to use the formula s=d/t (s= speed‚ d=distance‚ t=time). On the other hand‚ for accelaration you will use the formula a= vf-vi/t (a=acceleration‚ vf=final velocity‚ vi= initial velocity‚ t=time). Average speed is how fast something is moving; the path distanced moved per time. Acceleration is the
