n2 = 1.556713293

working = 1sin49 = 0.75470958 / sin29 = 1.56

49 = angle of incidence ( theta 1 )

29= angle of refraction ( theta 2 )

Section 2: Comparative Refraction Experiments

Activity:

●     Conduct similar refraction experiments using glass blocks, acrylic prisms, and other transparent materials.

●     Measure and document the refracted angles carefully.

●     Compare how different materials affect the bending of light.

●     Can we predict the refractive index of an unknown material using incident and refraction angles of the laser pointer beam?

Snell's Law Calculation (Google Colab):

Write a Python code in Google Colab to automatically calculate refractive indices based on Snell’s Law, given incident and refraction angles.

Google Website Documentation:

●     Clearly document each experimental setup, including step-by-step photographs.

●     Provide detailed sections on methodology, collected data, calculated results, and conclusions.

●     Include graphs comparing refractive indices of various materials.

●     Personal reflection section from group members on their learning experiences, challenges, and discoveries.

Final Outcome: Each group will present on the Google Website showcasing:

●     An introduction to refraction and its applications.

●     Detailed documentation of experimental setups and findings.

●     Calculations and comparisons using Snell’s Law.

●     Reflections on the scientific and teamwork experience.
