Engineering Physics Lab Guide

This document is a lab manual describing an experiment using a spectrometer to determine the apex angle of a glass prism. The apparatus available includes a spectrometer, spirit level, magnifying glass, glass prism, and sodium vapor lamp. The student objective is to use the spectrometer to measure the angle of reflection from two sides of the prism and calculate the apex angle from the difference between the two measurements.
