Sample Computations:

Parts A and B. Determination of Index of Refraction of Glass

Part A:
ng = (LF/GH)
ng = (6.8 cm/4.2 cm)
ng = 1.62
% Error = |AV-EV/AV| x 100%
% Error = |1.5-1.62/1.5| x 100%
% Error = 8 %
Part B:
ng = (GH/LF)
ng = (5.2 cm/3.5 cm)
ng = 1.49
% Error = |AV-EV/AV| x 100%
% Error = |1.5-1.49/1.5| x 100%
% Error = 0.64 %
Part C: Determination of Critical Angle
tan = (MU/EU)
= tan-1(MU/EU)
= tan-1(63/65)
= 44.1
% Error = |AV-EV/AV| x 100%
% Error = |41.8-44.1/41.8| x 100%
% Error = 5.22 %
