cause i hated them
how were you supposed to find the refractive index if you don't have a beam of light
or you don't know what the OBJECT is made of!!!

alrite so you draw a straight line then you draw a line perpendicular to the straight line u drew and mark equal distances from the point of intersection. put the material over the line so that it is over the dot.. slowly move the material up and mark where the dot on the refracted line is... then you draw a line from that dot to the line of intersection and use snell's law. sorry that was really confusing... i got 2nd in states for that event
