Bending Light
Completion requirements
This lab was designed specifically for students working remotely with guided inquiry. Learning Goals Describe what happens to light when it shines on a medium. Explain light direction changes at the interface between two media and what determines the angle. Describe the effect of varying wavelength on the angle of refraction. Explain why a prism creates a rainbow. Apply Snell’s law to a laser beam incident on the interface between media.
