Measurement of Refractive Index Gradients by Deflection of a Laser Beam
Barnard, A. J.; Ahlborn, B.
American Journal of Physics, 43, 7, 573-574, Jul 75
In this simple experiment for an undergraduate laboratory a laser beam is passed through the mixing zone of two liquids with different refractive indices. The spatial variation of the refractive index, at different times during the mixing, can be determined from the observed deflection of the beam. (Author)
