If the absolute refractive indices of glass and water are 3/2 and 4/3 respectively, what is the refractive index of glass with respect to water?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Given : ABSOLUTE Refractive index of glass `(""_(g)n_(v))=3//2`
Absolute refractive index of water `(""_(W)n_(v))=4//3`
To find : refractive index of glass with respect to water `(""_(g)n_(w))`
Formula : `""_(2)N=v_(1)/(v_(2))`
Solution : Refractive index of glass with respect to water
`""_(g)n_(w)=""_(w)n_(v)//""_(g)n_(v)`
`(3/2)/(4/3)=(9)/(8)`
Refractive index of glass with respect to water is `(9)/(8)`
