Prelim Physics Practical Experiment Help! (1 Viewer)

[namor3]

i have received a practical physics assignment and i do not know how to conduct the experiment.

The question is :

"You are required to design an experiment to answer the following question.

How does the angle of deviation of a light ray depend upon the angle between two mirrors?"

this is basically (i think) attempting to investigate Snell's law. So yeah just:

- get a light source (torch or something)
- shine it onto a mirror at an angle
- trace the path
- find the normal to the mirror
- then calculate the angle

Edit: on second thought i don't think that might be right.

is this what you're asking?
