What will I learn?

This course provides a targeted, practical guide to mastering measurements of refraction and dispersion. Participants learn to create accurate data tables, utilise Snell's law and minimum deviation techniques, convert beam positions into angles, and handle uncertainty propagation. It also explores glass properties, models dependent on wavelength, safe laboratory practices, calibration methods, and effective reporting to ensure experimental outcomes are precise, dependable, and suitable for publication.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Design prism dispersion experiments by planning geometry, angles, and spectral colours.
  • Calculate refractive index n(λ) using Snell's law, minimum deviation method, and error analysis.
  • Evaluate dispersion data by comparing it to Sellmeier or Cauchy models, including uncertainties.
  • Calibrate and align optical systems to reduce systematic errors and achieve precise measurements.
  • Interpret prism spectra, select between prisms and gratings, and explain chromatic phenomena.
