The following paper is on the chapter of light reflection and refraction. ... The next section in the chapter is on the refraction of light. ... Light is refracted toward the normal when it passes to a denser medium, and light is refracted away from the normal when the light ray passes into a medium that is l;ess dense. ... The final section of the chapter is on the index of refraction and speed of light. ... That concludes the end of this report on Light Reflection and Refraction. ...

When the light is bending like this, it is called refraction. The different colours of the light spread out because of this refraction. The red light is bent the least and violet light the most, that's why the arch of the red light is the largest and the violet is the smallest. ... The angle of refraction is a fixed angle and will never change. The sunlight is refracted through drops of rain, which is why rainbows appear after or during rainfall. ...

The Equipment: Beaker Stirring Rod Water Sugar Measuring Cylinder 3 semi circular trays Pencil Large protractor Light Box We chose water as our solvent as it was cheap, readily accessible and we had the advantage of already knowing its refractive index (1.33). ... We chose a light box to generate our ray of light as we already were competent with its use and it provided an adequate accuracy. ... The Method: 1) Sketch four trays onto paper and measure an angle of incidence of 30 and 50 for each. 2) Measure 80mls of water and combine with 20mls of sugar in beaker s...
