PLANNING: -
Title: - An Experiment to investigate the lateral displacement of a ray of light through a rectangular block of a transparent material.
Aim: - To investigate the lateral displacement for different angles and how the displacement depends on the angle of incidence when a ray of light enters the Perspex block.
Scientific Background: -
Refraction occurs when the speed changes when the lights travels from one medium to another medium. If the light travels from a medium to a denser medium, the light slows down and consequently is refracted towards the normal. …
