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.
