a - tank full of water

b - real depth

c - apparent depth

d - image of pin

e - second pin

f - pin

New cards

Method • 1

  • Fill tank with water

  • Measure real depth

3
New cards

Method • 2

  • Put pin at the bottom of the tank

  • Put second pin outside the tank at the depth of apparent image

4
New cards

Method • 3

  • Measure apparent depth

  • Repeat previous steps by changing water depth

5
New cards

Method • 4

  • Calculate refractive index for each set

  • Calculate the average refractive index

6
New cards

Precautions • 1

Measure from the bottom of the water instead of the bottom of the tank

State This Formula

Refractive Index - Depth


n = real depth / apparent depth
