Conclusion:
All results were found to be approx 1.33. Therefore within the limits of experimental
error it was found that the Refractive Index of water = 1.33.
Precautions:
1. Make sure the beakers can be filled right to the top with water.
2. Make sure the water is touching the back of the mirror.
3. Take care when locating the position of no parallax.
4. Take care when measuring the distances.
5. Make sure you use a plane mirror.
