This lab uses the Bending Light simulation from PhET Interactive Simulations at University of Colorado Boulder, under the CC-BY 4.0 license.
Learning Goals
A.Describe what happens to light when it shines on a medium.
B.Explain light direction changes at the interface between two media and what determines the angle.
C.Describe the effect of varying wavelength on the angle of refraction.
D.Explain why a prism creates a rainbow.
E.Apply Snell’s law to a laser beam incident on the interface between media.
