Suggest the apparatus needed to complete the task.
Describe, in detail, how the student traces the light ray through the block. You may annotate Fig. 4.1 if you wish.
Find the angle of incidence $i$ and the angle of refraction $r$ at the point where the light enters the glass.
Using the equation $n = \frac{\sin i}{\sin r}$ for the refractive index $n$ of glass, the student repeats the experiment with rays at different values of $i$. In the space below, sketch a suitable results table for recording all the data needed to determine $n$. In your table, include the $i$ values that the student should select.
