Question

The refractive index of water is 1.33 and kerosene is 1.44. Calculate refractive index of the kerosene with respect to water.

Answer 1

"Refractive index of water = 1.33

Refractive index of kerosene = 1.44

Therefore refractive index of kerosene with respect to water = Refractive index of kerosene/Refractive index of water

= 1.44/1.33

=1.08270677

So, refractive index of kerosene with respect to water is 1.08270677. As kerosene is of the higher density so the ray of light will move away from the normal in this case.

"

Answer 2

Explanation:

1.08270677 is the refractive Index of kerosene with respect to water
