Q

Describe the required refraction practical

A

1: draw a straight line on a paper
2: use a protractor to draw lines at right angles
3: place a glass block next the straight line
4: draw the glass block out
5: turn the lights of
6:use a ray box to hit its light at the block
7: mark the path of the incident of ray (with crosses)
8: draw the incidents lines to the transmitted one
9 then measure it
