Do you notice a trend in the resulting values? If so, describe it. How does your value compare with that inferred from Figure 9.34? Angle in glass (*) 20
The ray of light from the ray box should be as narrow as possible.Explain why using a wider ray would give less accurate results than using a narrower ray.
As light travels from air into water, what happens to the frequency of the light? Consider how the wavelength and speed of light change; then use the relationship between speed, wavelength, and frequency for a wave. What about light that is reflected off the surface of water? What happens to its wavelength, speed, and frequency?
