1. Why doesn't the ray of light bend as it leaves the circular side of the refraction cell? 2. Will every angle of refraction be less than the angle of incidence in this experiment? Why or why not? 3. Using a reference source, look up the index of refraction of water. What is the known value, and how does the slope of your graph compare to the value given in the reference book? 4. Using the value you determined for the index of refraction of water, calculate the value of the refracted angle in water if the angle of incidence for a ray coming from air is 36.0°. 5. When a light ray travels out of a material such as glass into air, the sine of the critical angle is equal to the reciprocal of that material's index of refraction. Explain why this is true. 6. A substance has an index of refraction of 1.46. A light ray is passing through it at an angle of 15.0° relative to the normal. At what angle will it leave into the air? 7. What are some applications of refraction? What are some applications of total internal reflection?
