Question

A transparent liquid X has refractive index of 1.31 and another liquid Y with refractive index 1.50, calculate the velocity of light in each of the medium and find in which of the above media will light travel with a greater velocity. And which of the above liquid is optically rarer. What will be the refractive index of X with respect to Y.

Answer 1

Answer:

according to snells law speed and refractive index are inversely proportional to each other so speed would be greater in 1.31 liquid X.

Explanation:

so liquid X is optically rarer and liquid y is optically denser.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

according to snells law speed and refractive index are inversely proportional to each other so speed would be greater in 1.31 liquid X.

Explanation:

so liquid X is optically rarer and liquid y is optically denser.
