Refractive index of a solid is observed to have the same value along all directions. Comment on the nature of this solid. Would it show cleavage property? |
|
Answer» As the solid has same value of refractive index along all directions, this means that it is isotropic and hence amorphous. Being an amorphous solid, it would not show a clean cleavage when cut with a knife. Instead it would break into pieces with irregular surfaces. |
