Question

refractive index of diamond is 2.42 and refractive index of alcohol is 1.36 find the refractive index of Diamond with respect to alcohol ​

Answer 1

The refractive index of diamond with respect to alcohol is 1.8.

Refractive index of diamond is 2.42 and refractive index of alcohol is 1.36.

We have to find the refractive index of diamond with respect to alcohol.

Refractive index :

• Refractive index of a medium is the ratio of velocity of light in vacuum to the velocity of the light in that medium.
• Refractive index of medium₁ with respect medium₂ is given as the ratio of refractive index of medium₁ to that of medium.
• in short, refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium 1 is given as ₁μ₂ = μ₂/μ₁

Here, refractive index of diamond, μ₂ = 2.42

Refractive index of alcohol, μ₁ = 1.36

∴ Refractive index of diamond with respect to alcohol, ₁μ₂ = μ₂/μ₁

= 2.42/1.36 = 1.779 ≈ 1.8

Therefore the refractive index of diamond with respect to alcohol is 1.8.
