Experiment: Law of Geometrical Optics Objectives: Verify the law of reflection using experiments. Verify the law of refraction using experiments. Measure the index of refraction of water. Pre Lab: Find the definition and equations of the reflection and refraction laws. What is the difference between an internal reflection and an external reflection? Define and provide an equation for the critical angle. Define total internal reflection (TIR). Find the refractive index for the following media: water, plastic, glass. Calculate the critical angle for an air-water interface assuming nair = 1. Can internal reflection be used to determine the refractive index of a medium? If so, how? Complete the following table: find the theoretical refracted angles corresponding to the following incident angles. Your TA will identify the media. Incident angles (deg) 10 20 30 50 70 90 Refracted angles (deg) Use your knowledge of trigonometric functions to find an expression for (r, the angle between the laser beam direction and the reflected beam direction, using lengths x and y in the Figure 1. Does your formula work for oblique angles (r too? If not, explain why, and how would you modify it to work? Figure 1.

Good record keeping is fundamental to good science and engineering. Part A: Law of Reflection Equipment Required: Laser Assembly (LA) Beam Steering Assembly (BSA-I) Rotation Stage (R) Sheet of paper Masking tape Experiment setup: Place the Beam Steering Assembly on a Rotation Stage (R). Locate the Laser and BSA as shown in Fig. 2. Tape a sheet of paper on the wall at the same height at which you set the Laser. Fig. 2: Setup for the Law of Reflection experiment (view from abo
