1.	The optical path of a monochromatic light is the same if it goes through 4.00m of glass are 4.50 m of a liquid . If the refractive index of glass is 1.5, what is the refractive index of the liquid?
Answer» Solution :When LIGHT travells a DISTANCE x in a medium of refractive INDEX `mu` the optical PATH is `mu x` Given `mu_x x_1= mu_2 x_2 implies 1.5 times 4.00=mu_2 times 4.50` `mu_2=(1.5 times 4.00)/4.50=1.333`
