Aim To trace the path of the rays of light through glass prism. Materials Required Theory A prism is a portion of refracting medium bounded by the planes inclined to each other at an angle. When a ray of light travels from a rarer medium towards denser medium, it bends towards the normal. if the […]
Aim To trace the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab for different angles of incidence. Measure the angle of incidence, angle of refraction, angle of emergence and interpret the result. Materials Required Drawing board Drawing pins Three plane sheets of white paper A rectangular glass slab Geometry instruments Sharp […]
Aim To determine the equivalent resistance of two resistors when connected in parallel. Materials Required Theory When two or more resistors are connected together between two points then they are said to be connected in parallel. In parallel combination, The formula to calculate equivalent resistance in series is: 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 Circuit Diagrams Procedure […]
