So I did a "waves in two depth medium refraction" lab and I measured the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction.
So doing the sin i/ sin R, I get the value of 1.22 for all the sets of data.
A question asks, do the values (1.22) serve as evidence for or against a particle model for light?
I'm new to this physics thing, and it definitely isn't my strong subject. So I'm wondering if someone can explain in their own words what Snell's law is about and what that value (1.22) means, in my context. Maybe then I can attempt to answer my question.
