APPARATUS REQUIRED:
A hollow prism; spirit level; spectrometer;sugar; water; methanol; ethanol.
where µ is the refractive index, A is the angle of prism and Dm is the angle of minimum
deviation. (Derive and understand above formula).
Refractive index is actually measurement o refraction or bending of light at the interface of two
mediums of diff densities, diff materials have diff densities , Diff materials have diff refreactive
index, which means they refract light in diff proportions.

Hence the variation of refractive index with Concentration of Sugar solution was studied. Also,
the refractive index of Ethanol and methanol was measured. Thus from experiment we found
