Based on Table 6, which material causes the greatest degree of bending (refraction) of the laser beam? Experiment Context (Refraction of Monochromatic Light): Students directed a 532 nm green laser beam from air (n1 = 1.00) into three transparent optical blocks at an incident angle of 45.0° and measured the angle of refraction (theta_2): Table 6: - Material 1 (Fused Quartz): theta_2 = 29.0° - Material 2 (Flint Glass): theta_2 = 26.0° - Material 3 (Synthetic Diamond): theta_2 = 17.0°
