Hello, I am a Physics student who, along with my group, is performing an experiment for our assignment where we test the effect of temperature on the refractive index of water. However, the only quantitative and qualitative information I have found relates to the 'light' side of it, i.e. Snell's Law, Total Internal Reflection (Prisms and Diffraction Gratings) - all the theory for measuring the refractive index but nothing relating to the heat side of things (it's supposed to be an experiment on heat) Could anyone please suggest to me some theories or ideas that are relevant? (Thanks!)
