Refractometer

Refractometry is a technique that measures the refractive index of a substance by analyzing how light is refracted when it passes through the material. The refractive index is a fundamental property that depends on the chemical composition of the sample and can be used to identify, analyze the purity, and determine the concentration of dissolved substances.
The working principle of refractometry is based on Snell’s law, which describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction when light passes from one medium to another. When light enters a sample from air, it slows down and bends, creating an illusion of refraction. The severity of this bending depends on the amount of dissolved substances in the liquid. By measuring the refractive index, it is possible to determine the composition and concentration of the sample.
