Question 4

A student investigates how light refracts as it passes from air into a perspex block.

They record the angle of incidence, $θ1\theta_1$ , and the angle of refraction, $θ2\theta_2$ , for several different angles.

Perspex Refraction Data

Angle of incidence, $θ1\theta_1$ ( $∘^{\circ}$ )	Angle of refraction, $θ2\theta_2$ ( $∘^{\circ}$ )
0	0
15	10
30	19.5
45	28
60	35
75	40.5

Using the data, they plot the points on the grid in Figure 5.
