Refractive Index of glass with respect to air is 1:5 and refractive index of water with respect to air is 4/3 what will be refractive index of glass with respect to water
Answers
Answer:
Air is the invisible mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. Air contains important substances, such as oxygen and nitrogen, that most species need to survive.

Explanation:
Refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a specific medium.
Let us consider
Refractive index of air = Ra
Refractive index of glass = Rg
Refractive index of water = Rw
The refractive index of glass with respect to water is given as,
Rgw = Rg/Rw
9/8 = Rg/Rw……………………………..(1)
The refractive index of glass with respect to air is
Rga = Rg/Ra……………………………..(2)
The refractive index of water with respect to air is
Rwa = Rw/Ra……………………………..(3)
Substitute the value of (1), (2) in (3) we get
Rwa = 4/3
The refractive index of water with respect to air is 4/3.
