Laser Beam Steering with Right Angle Prism (Lab 7 of 23)

This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. In this lab, participants trace light rays traveling through a right angle prism, use experiment data to verify the law of refraction and reflection, demonstrate the total internal reflection in a right angle prism, and explore common applications of right angle prisms. Equipment includes a laser pointer, right angle prism, protractor, pencil, and white sheet of paper. The video recording runs 25:28 minutes in length.
