Question

refractive index of water is 4 by 3 and refractive index of diamond is 9 by 5 find the refractive index of diamond with respect of water also find refractive index of water with respect to diamond ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Refractive index of diamond with respect to water is given by:

n1 = (refractive index of diamond) / (refractive index of

water)

Refractive index of water with respect to diamond is given by:

n2 = (refractive index of water) / (refractive index of diamond)

Explanation:

Here

(I) n1 = (9/5) / (4/3)

= 27/20

(ii)n2 = (4/3) / (9/5)

= 20/27

Hope this helps
