Percentage error:
1.55 – 1.53 ÷ 1.53
0.02 ÷ 1.53
.013 x 100
1.3 % error
2. What value did you calculate for the index of refraction of the glass block in Part 2? How does your value compare to the accepted value of 1.53? Calculate the percentage error. Different materials have distinct indexes of refraction. Explain how you might identify a material based on experiments like this one. Mention at least one of the difficulties in identifying materials based on their indexes of refraction.
