What will I learn?

This course provides a focused, practical approach to mastering measurements of refraction and dispersion using prisms. Participants will design accurate data tables, utilize Snell's law and minimum deviation techniques, convert beam positions into precise angles, and handle uncertainty propagation. Coverage includes glass material properties, models dependent on wavelength, safe laboratory configurations, calibration procedures, 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 colors.
  • Calculate refractive index n(λ) using Snell's law, minimum deviation method, and error analysis.
  • Analyze dispersion data by comparing to Sellmeier and Cauchy models, including uncertainties.
  • Calibrate and align optical setups to reduce systematic errors for accurate measurements.
  • Interpret prism spectra, select prisms over gratings, and explain chromatic dispersion effects.
