We were also able to locate the focal point and find the index of refraction. The angle of incidence for our experiment was 23 degrees versus 26 degrees, the angle of reflection therefore there was a distinct error percentage as shown in our flat mirror diagram. Our critical angle for the plano-convex lens was 45 degrees.</p><p>You are missing data values and results.</p><p>80/100</p>
