Table 2. Refractive index matching using % light transmission of particles on two different liquids.

��

%�� =

��

Liquid

Light intensity (V)

��

With WATER (n=1.33):

With GLYCERIN (n=1.47)

Analysis Questions

1. What is most likely the refractive index of the glass tube? Explain your answer.

2. Verify your results using a lux meter

as the detector.

(See the setup to the right )

A lux meter is a commercially

available device used to determine

light intensity.

Did you get the same results as with

the LED-multimeter detector?

Describe what you observed.
