Refraction
As you work through the steps in the lab procedure, record your experimental values and the results on this worksheet. Use the exact values you record for your data to make later calculations.
Data
Step 1: Record your data in the table using one decimal place. Please do not include units in your answers. (Enter NONE in any unused answer blanks.)
