PHYS 2212L - Principles of Physics Laboratory II: Index of Refraction of Water

This document appears to be a lab report for a physics experiment on Snell's Law. It includes a table of measurements for the displacement of light passing through water at different angles of incidence. A linear regression analysis yields an index of refraction of 1.3591 for water. A second experiment uses internal reflection to measure the index of refraction of an acrylic plate, finding a mean value of 1.436.
