    This document describes an experiment to determine the refractive index of a liquid. Key steps include: 1) Measuring the focal length of a convex lens alone and in combination with the liquid. 2) Calculating the focal length of the liquid lens based on the difference in focal lengths. 3) Using the focal length of the liquid lens to calculate its refractive index. The refractive index of the liquid was determined to be 1.206.

    Discussion :

    1.in this experiment we have to face some problem .

    2.The experiment went very well for me

    3. The results worked out specially when we take the valu .

    4. by the we must have to take the movement of a liquid by pin method using a plane mirror
    and a convex lens .
