Question

refractive index of medium does not depend on​

Answer 1

Answer:

Refractive Index of a medium depends upon the refractive index of the surroundings, optical density ,wavelength of the light and temperature.

Answer 2

Refractive index of the medium does not depend on​ Angle of the prism.

What is the refractive index?

• Ratio of the velocity of light in vacuum to velocity of light in a specific medium.
• It is a measure of the bending of light when it passes from 1 medium to another.
• Expression: μ = c/v       c = speed of light in vacuum  

                                       and v =  speed of light in medium

Refractive index depends on:

1. Nature of medium.
2. Temperature
3. Wavelength

Refractive index  DOES NOT depend on:

1. Angle of prism.

• Refractive index is the property of material therefore it is independent of the angle of the prism.
