Index of Refraction
Posted on January 1, 2011 by Arbor Scientific
The semicircular block is ideal for a first quantitative activity on refraction. When placed as in this activity, rays bend only when exiting the block, simplifying observations. Students will measure angles of incidence and refraction, and calculate the index of refraction of Plexiglas.This post was posted in Labs, Light & Color and was tagged with light box, optical set, index of refraction, angles of incidence

Reflection and Refraction
Posted on January 1, 2011 by Lori Anderson
The Law of Reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Students will use ray tracing to predict the location and image characteristics for flat and curved mirrors. Students will use ray tracing to discover and explain how different types of images are created with plane, concave and convex mirrorsThis post was posted in Labs, Light & Color and was tagged with refraction, angles of incidence, reflection, mirrors, lab 104

Law of Reflection of Light
Posted on January 1, 2011 by Dale Freeland
This activity is designed to help students "discover" that light reflected form a mirror’s surface is reflected in a systematic, predictable way such that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.This post was posted in Labs, Electricity & Magnetism and was tagged with angles of incidence, reflection, law of reflection, lab 7
