Snell’s law: n1 sinθc=
n2 sin 90
n2= air
n1Denser
medium=n1sin430=1.sin900
n1=1/sin430= 1.47
(Refractive Index).
Case 2:
1. sin43= n2
sin90
n2=sin43=
0.68
n2 is less than 1. It is not
possible.
1) Also, propagate your measurement uncertainty to find an
uncertainty for this new calculation of the index of refraction.
Show your work.
2) finally, calculate a z-score to compare your
values. Are your two measurements of the index of refraction
consistent with each other? Show your work.
(Both your values have uncertainties here! Recall how
that changes your Z-score calculation.)
expected value: 1.60 +/- 1.49
