Question
We will use a video to explore the behavior of a laser beam that travels through the air and enters a transparent block, as well as how to apply Snell’s law in this scenario.
Specifically, we will:
Take measurements of the incoming and outgoing angles of the laser beam upon entering the block.
Use Snell’s law to graphically determine the unknown index of refraction of the block.
When a ray of light passes through a boundary between two transparent media, it changes direction. What is this phenomenon known as?
Select the best answer from the choices provided.
