Question

il) You are given water, mustard oil, glycerine and kerosene. In which of these media a ray of light
incident obliquely at the same angle would band the most?
a) Kerosene
b) Water
c) Glycerine
d) Mustard oil​

Answer 1

Answer:

Glycerine

Explanation:

Refractive index for water, mustard oil, glycerine and kerosene are:

μ

w

=1.33

μ

m

=1.47

μ

g

=1.473

μ

k

=1.44

Since refractive index of glycerine is highest, ray bends the most in case of glycerine.

Answer 2

Answer:

glycerine

Explanation:

Refractive index for water, mustard oil, glycerine and kerosene are:

μ

w

=1.33

μ

m

=1.47

μ

g

=1.473

μ

k

=1.44

Since refractive index of glycerine is highest, ray bends the most in case of glycerine.
