... Physics Coursework: Investigating the factors which affect the sideways displacement of a light ray through a glass block Plan: Refraction: Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another in which the speed of light is different. The speed in glass is slower than its speed in air so light is refracted when it travels for air to glass, or vice versa. This change in speed usually results in a change in the direction in which light travels. Aim: I'm going to investigate the factors, which affect the path of a light ray through a glass block. These factors are: * Angle of incidence * Material * Thickness of material The factor I have chosen is the angle of incidence because it is the easiest to carry out in the classroom since it would be difficult to find different materials that could be tested. Also it would be difficult to find one material
