- To Find : Refractive index µzx
- Given : refractive index µxy= 2/3,and the refractive index µyz = 4/3
When the light goes from one medium ( other than vacuum or air) to another medium then that refractive index is called relative refractive index.
for example : refractive index of medium 1 with respect to medium 2 , µ12 = µ1/µ2
↪ refractive index of air or vaccum is 1.
the refractive index of x with respect to y,
the refractive index of y with respect to z,
the refractive index of z with respect to x

Answer:
9/8
Explanation:
n12 × n23 × n31=1
n(xy) × n(yz) × n(zx) =1
(2/3) × (4/3) × n(zx) =1
n(zx) =9/8
