Refraction of light through a slab

Refraction of light through a slab

Experiment description

This experiment demonstrates refraction of light through a slab. A light beam is directed toward the slab, and the angle of incidence can be changed. The refractive index of the slab and the surrounding medium can also be adjusted to observe how the light bends while entering and exiting the slab, showing the relationship between incidence angle, refraction angle, and material properties based on Snell's Law.
