    wavelength of light. Because the velocity of light in air is always greater than that through a liquid‚ the refractive index is a number greater than 1; for example‚ hexane n20D 1.3751. The superscript 20 indicates that the measurement was made at 20 oC‚ and the subscript D refers to the yellow D-line of a sodium vapor lamp‚ light with a wavelength of 589 nm. The measurement is made with a refractometer using a few drops of liquid. Compensation is made within the instrument for the fact that white

    affect the Refractive Index? The aim of this experiment is to investigate the relationship between the refractive index and the wavelength. We will be testing 5 different wavelengths: 630nm (red)‚ 570nm (yellow)‚ 532nm (green)‚ 445nm (blue) and 405nm (violet). Figure 1 Figure 1 What is the refractive index? The refractive index is the measurement of how hard it is for light to pass through a certain substance‚ thus affecting the speed of light. By knowing the refractive index of a substance

    To What Extent does the Sugar Concentration of Water Affects Its Refractive Index? 1. Introduction 1.1 Background Why do object when placed in a bucket of water bend? This is not magic but it is a property of light known as refraction. The bending of light when it travels from one medium to another is known as refraction. Different mediums have different densities and density is defined as the amount of mass per unit volume. The higher the density‚ the higher is the

    The refractive index Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find the refractive index of a glass prism. In this experiment‚ the independent variable is the angle of incidence‚ and the dependent variable is the angle of refraction. Theory: Snell’s law relates the angle of incidence and refraction to the ratio of the velocity of the wave in the different media. The formula for Snell’s law is the following: Sin isinr = v1v2 = n Where i is the angle of incidence‚ r is the angle of refraction
