Properties of Light Lab Report Instructions: In the Properties of Light—Bending Light Lab you will explore how light rays interact as they pass from one material, or medium, to another. Record your observations in the lab report below. You will submit your completed report.
Name and Title:
Include your name, instructor's name, date, and name of lab.
Objective(s):
what was the purpose of this lab?
Hypothesis:
In this section, please include the if/then statement you developed during your lab activity. This statement reflects your predicted outcome for the experiment.
If I project light rays through (choose one: air, water, glass), then they will refract, or bend, the most.
Procedure:
Please be sure to identify the test variable (independent variable) and the outcome variable (dependent variable) for this investigation. Remember, the test variable is what is changing in this investigation. The outcome variable is what you are measuring in this investigation.
Test variable (independent variable):
Outcome variable (dependent variable):
Data:
Record the data from each trial in the data chart below. Be sure to fill in the chart completely.
MaterialInteractions
List any observations you made as the light rays passed from the air on the top of the screen to the selected material on the bottom of the screen.
Evidence
Using the protractor, measure the angle as the light passes from the top material to the bottom material on the screen. Also, note the index of refraction for each as indicated on the screen.

Conclusion:
Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please write in complete sentences.
