Answer 1

here is ur ans ☝☝....

Answer 2

The answers to the questions are 1.153 and 0.867 respectively.

CALCULATION:

The refractive index of ice is given as $\mu_{i} =1.3$

The refractive index of glass is given as $\mu_{g} =1.5$

We are asked to calculate the refractive index of glass with respect to ice and refractive index of ice with respect to glass.

The refractive index of a medium 2 with respect to medium 1 is calculated as -

                                     $\mu_{2}^1=\frac{\mu_{2}}{ \mu_{1}}$

Hence, refractive index of glass with respect to ice is calculated as -

                                         $\mu_{g}^a=\frac{\mu_{g}} {\mu_{i}}$

                                                = $\frac{1.5}{1.3}$

                                                =1.153                                 [ans]

Similarly, refractive index of ice with respect to glass is calculated as -

                                              $\mu_{i}^g=\frac{\mu_{i}} {\mu_{g}}$

                                                     = $\frac{1.3}{1.5}$

                                                     = 0.867                         [ans]
