Question

refractive index of sapphire is 1.77 and diamond is 2.42. calculate refractive index of sapphire is respect to diamond.

Answer 1

refractive index of sapphire is respect to diamond

=refractive index of sapphire/refractive index of diamond

=1.77/2.42

=0.73

Answer 2

Answer:

The refractive index of sapphire with respect to diamond (μ₁₂) is 0.7314.

Explanation:

The refractive index of sapphire (μ₁) is 1.77

The refractive index of diamond (μ₂) is 2.42

The refractive index of sapphire with respect to diamond = ?

Calculations -

μ₁₂ = μ₁(The refractive index of sapphire)/μ₂(The refractive index of diamond) = (1.77)/(2.42) = 0.7314

μ₁₂ (The refractive index of sapphire with respect to diamond) =  0.7314
