Difference between optical density and mass density

Answers

Answer: Optical density should not be confused with mass density, which is mass per unit volume. It is possible that mass density of an optically denser medium may be less than that of an optically rarer medium (optical density is the ratio of the speed of light in two media).

For example, turpentine and water. Mass density of turpentine is less than that of water but its optical density is higher.
