Bending Light Lab Report

Bending light is a very interesting subject, we can learn about all the different densities, wavelengths and angles of light. Trump is very despicable to Mexicans and if he will start a revolution against us, the Americans will be using infra-red light similar to the storm trooper's blaster from Star Wars to take us down. If we can reflect their shots, then we can send those lasers right back at them. My hypothesis states that if we can shine light through multiple transparent objects with various densities, the light will reflect with the same power towards Trumps army. As a class we used a computer to simulate shining light at water, glass and prisms. We also took the measurements of the refraction and reflection, as well as their wavelength, intensity and the angle from the vertical speed. When the light was shined through various objects, we all noticed that the colors of light (wavelengths of light) behaved different than others giving us different results, like as an example: some refracted at a sharper angle then others. We also found that objects like water or glass had a high density, which makes the light perform very poorly (slowed the light by a lot) …show more content…
For example: when we put the light at an angle of 30 degrees in the air to the water we expected it to be 30 degrees and we were correct, the angle of incident equaled the angle of refraction. But.... the angle of the light that had passed into the water was a surprising 22 degrees not 30 degrees. So, we know that the light refracted and that the refracted light had a decreased angle, when compared to the vertical. If we changed the medium when the light was entering the glass, it would be reduced to 20. When we start at a higher density like water, it starts in 30 degrees and the light refracted is 40
