Problem

An experimenter measures the angles of a light beam passing from air into an unknown liquid. The data are: Incident angle (deg): 15, 30, 45 Refracted angle (deg): 10, 19, 28 Using these three measurements, determine the best estimate for the liquid’s optical index to two significant figures.
