Question

the refractive index of atmospheric layers decreases with increase in height above the earth's surface if we view near the horizon, the apparent position of a star will be

Answer 1

Answer:

please mark as briliant answer

______________________________

i think position of Star will be farther from the actual place

Answer 2

Answer:

• The 'position of the star' is found to be in the far off position when normally compared.
• The refractive index is defined as the phenomenon or the ratio of the "velocity of light in vacuum" to the "velocity of light" in a corresponding medium.
• In the atmosphere is the mixture of the gases, the ratio is taken to the consideration with 'respect to the gases' present in the layer.
• The density of the substances are different when considering the refractive phase.
