Baylee Oakes, Mrs. Duchien, 2/13/20, Properties of Light Lab
Hypothesis:
In this section, please include the if/then statement you developed during your lab activity. This statement reflects your predicted outcome for the experiment.If I project light rays through (choose one: air, water, glass), then they will refract, or bend, the most.
Procedure:
Please be sure to identify the test variable (independent variable) and the outcome variable (dependent variable) for this investigation. Remember, the test variable is what is changing in this investigation.
The outcome variable is what you are measuring in this investigation.
Test variable (independent variable): the materials (air, water, and glass)
Outcome variable (dependent variable): how light changes direction when put in varied materials
Select Intro to begin
.Once the simulation loads, you will drag the protractor onto the screen so that the 0 linesup with the dotted line in the center of the screen.You will test all three materials in the bottom, blue half of the screen: air, water, and glass.
Record your observations of how the light rays interact as they pass from air, on the top of the screen, through the three materials on the bottom of the screen
Data:
Record the data from each trial in the data chart below. Be sure to fill in the chart completely.MaterialInteractionsList any observations you made as the light rays passed from the air on the top of the screen to the selected material on the bottom of the screen.
EvidenceUsing the protractor, measure the angle as the light passes from the top material to the bottom material on the screen. Also, note the index of refraction for each as indicated on the screen.
(See the attach for the answer of this section0)
Conclusion:Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please write in complete sentences.
Did your data support your hypothesis? Use evidence to explain.
Yes, my data supported my hypothesis. In my hypothesis I stated that if I project light through glass it will refract the most and after investigation, I discovered that the glass reflected the light the most bending it at a
Which material refracted the light rays the most: air, water, or glass?
The glass refracted the light the most, bending it to a
Which material refracted the light rays the least: air, water, or glass?
The air refracted the light the least because the light did not bend at all.
How does density affect refraction?
Density affects refraction because light waves, unlike sound waves, don’t need to interact with other particles to travel and they travel faster in the air and since light travels in a straight line, the denser the material gets the less it will be able travel in a straight line hence, it will refract more the denser the material gets.
Diamonds are a very dense material. Predict what would happen to the light ray if you projected it from air through a diamond.
Since diamonds are very dense material, I predict that the light will refract because light travels in a straight line and does not need to interact with other materials to travel, so the light will refract in the dense material.
Explain where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities
In my everyday life I observe reflection when I look in the mirror and brush my teeth, I observe refraction when I drink a glass of water with a straw, and I observe absorption when I wear dark colors outside and I get really hot because the dark colors are absorbing the sunlight.
