Aim
To find out the refractive indices of different liquids using a
hollow prism
Apparatus Required
Hollow glass prism
Various liquids like water, carbon disulphide, benzaldehyde
etc.
Bell pins
Drawing board
Procedure
Now take the pins and place them on the side AC so that
all the 4 pins appear to be in same line.
Remove the prism and draw the line joining the points so
obtained.
