Determination of Refractive Index of Highly Concentrated Solutions of NaCl and Glycerin using Total Internal Reflection (TIR) (14 points) Please read the general instructions in the separate envelope before you start this experiment. Dependence of Refractive Index of a Solution on Concentration Introduction: Basic Principle: When a beam of light is incident on a surface, reflection and refraction take place. When the surface is uneven (rough), these phenomena result in scattering light in all directions. If the surface is that of a transparent medium, then most of the light is transmitted (refracted) and a small portion of it is reflected. If the surface is opaque and polished (like a metallic surface), all the light is reflected. In this experiment, the green laser light is shonenormally into thewater inside a container. The container used has vertical walls. The laser beam first meets the smooth top water surface then it gets scattered from the rough bottom surface of container while producing a bright green spot on the bottom surface. This scattered light travels back into the water in all directions. This light again meets the top smooth surface of water and undergoes reflection, refraction and another phenomenon called total internal reflection (see Figure 1). The scattered rays that reach the top surface of the water at an angle greater than the critical angle, get totally internally reflected which results in a bright ring enclosing a dark region.
