An Experiment to Measure the Speed of Light in Glass Plan Method Apparatus - Glass D-Block Optical pins Cork board Protractor printed on paper To find the refractive index you must first find the angle of incidence and reflection. You use the method of no parallax, I will use ray tracing with the method of no parallax. This involves placing the D-Block on the protractor paper, so the normal is at 0o, the center of the D-Block. I will place two optical pins pointing at the normal, lining up the two pins, I will place the third lined up with these two, looking through the D-Block. I will measure the angle between the normal and the line that connects the optical pins in front of the D-Block to the D-Blocks front center (i), and the angle between the normal and the line that connects the optical pin behind the...
