The purpose of this lab was to experimentally apply the concepts of the law of reflection and Snell’s law to reflected and transmitted light using a beam of light, a mirror, a plexiglass prism, and a small container of water. The law of reflection states that Θi = Θr (the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection). Transmitted light is subject to Snell’s law, which holds that n1sinΘ1 = n2sinΘ2, where n is the medium’s distinct index of refraction. Using a tabletop setting, a beam
