Answer:
The nature of the solid is amorphous.
Explanation:
As we know amorphous solid show isotropic nature, i.e the RI, electrical resistance...have same value in all direction. And if we cut it with a sharp edge tool , it will show cleavage property having irregular surfaces.

Answer:
- An isotropic solid has the same value of physical properties when measured along different directions.
- Therefore, the given solid, having the same value of refractive index along all directions, is isotropic in nature.
- Hence, the solid is an amorphous solid.
- When an amorphous solid is cut with a sharp edged tool, it cuts into two pieces with irregular surfaces.
