Question

Calculate the refractive index of 1st medium w.r.t2nd medium when refractive index of second medium w.r.t 1st medium is 1.414
QUICK ANSWER PLEASE !!!

Answer 1

Answer:

The refractive index of 1st medium with respect to 2nd medium is 0.707

Explanation:

The refractive idex is given as,

$\frac{n2}{n1} = 1.414$

where n1 is the refractive index of medium 1 and n2 is the refractive index of medium 2.

Thus, the refractive index of medium 1 with respect to medium 2 is,

$\frac{n1}{n2} = \frac{1}{1.414} \\ \frac{n1}{n2} =0.707$

Hence, the refractive index of medium 1 with respect to medium 2 is 0.707.
