Answer all questions in this section.

1. A student carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the angle of incidence, i,
and angle of refraction, r. The arrangement of apparatus is shown in Diagram 1.1.

Ray source
Normal line
P
Incident ray i
Q

r
Glass block White paper
Refraction

W

Diagram 1.1

The student constructs angles of incidence, I, of 20° by using a protractor. This angle is shown in
Diagram 1.2 as the angle between the normal line and the PQ line. The student put the glass block on
the white paper. He directs a ray of light from P to Q. He marks the path of the emergent ray with two
points, A1 and A2 as shown in Diagram 1.2. Then he remove the glass block and complete the path.
He then draw another normal line at W then he constructs the refracted ray joining Q to W. The angle
between the normal line and the refracted ray is known as refracted angle, r.

The experiment is repeated with angle of incidence , i = 30°, 𝟒𝟎°, 𝟓𝟎° 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟔𝟎°. The emergent rays
from the glass blok is marked respectively with point B1 and B2, C1 and C2, D1 and D2, E1 and E2.

Diagram 1.2 and 1.3 show the result for all the points marked from the experiment.
