Write a first general equation giving the angle of refraction (r) as a function of the angle of incidence (i) on a rectangular piece of acrylic and the refractive index (n) of the acrylic. Then write a second general equation giving the lateral deviation (d) of an incident beam as a function of the angle of incidence (i), the angle of refraction (r) and the thickness (e) of the rectangular piece of acrylic. Note that there are 2 ways to calculate (d), which result in 2 mathematically equivalent equations. Finally, combine the two equations to obtain the physical model of the experiment, an equation that allows you to calculate the dependent variable (d) based on the independent variable (i), as well as the parameters of the experiment (e). and N). The variable (r) is an intermediate variable that should not be in the final equation.
