Measurement of the refractive index of a special sample

AI Thread Summary
Measuring the refractive index of a small, curly cantilever presents challenges due to its size and shape. Traditional methods may not be effective for samples that are only tens of microns and not flat. Alternative techniques or specialized equipment may be necessary to obtain accurate measurements. The provided link may offer insights or tools that could assist in this measurement process. Exploring innovative approaches is essential for successfully determining the refractive index of such unique samples.

I want to measure the refractive index of a thin cantilever ; however the sample is too small (about tens of microns). on the other hand, the cantilever maybe not flat at all and it is curly. how can I do it?

My sample is too small and curly so that I don't think the normal method to measure the refractive index is useful.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
