1.	(a) What do you mean by refractive index of one medium with respect to another ? (b) The absolute refractive refractive indices of benzene and kerosene are 1.50 and 1.44 respectively. What is the refractive index of benzene with respect to kerosene ?
Answer» Solution :(a) N/A (B) Here, refractive index of benzene `n_(b) = 1.50` and refractive index of kerosene `n_(K) = 1.44`. `THEREFORE` Refractive index of benzene w.r.t. kerosene `n_(BK) = (n_(b))/(n_(k)) = (1.50)/(1.44) = 1.04`
