 Producing a single report
• Due date is 3 days after your lab session.

• Discuss between the team members and distribute task to produce a single report
(hand written)

• Select a member(rotation basis) to compile them.

• Convert the report into a pdf format and send it to

• - itaalem (in your own group) or
• Lecturer’s email
• (consult your lecturer for the preferred platform)

Figures on how to create a single ray

What is wrong with the orientation of this semicircle?

 VIDEO

Observe how the refraction angle

changes as incident angle is increases
until becoming bigger than critical angle
DATA – TIR, incident angle at less than critical angle

Directing a single ray at 10o. Observe how the ray gets refracted.
Sketch this image and attach it in your report. Use arrow to indicate the direction of the ray.
DATA – TIR, incident angle at less than critical angle

Observe how the ray gets refracted as the angle of the incident is increases approaching critical angle.
 DATA - TIR
Enlarged image.

1st Observation. TIR is occurring. Record this incident angle.

The refracted ray at 90o is very faint to be observed and unable to be captured by the camera.

Sketch this image and attach it in your report. Use arrow to indicate the direction of the ray.

3rd Observation. TIR is occurring. Record this incident angle.

Sketch this image and attach it in your report. Use arrow to indicate the direction of the ray.
