Answer 1

Question:-

The refractive index of water is 4/3 and for glass is 3/2 with respect to air. what is the refractive of water with respect to glass?

Answer:-

Given,

Refractive index of water is 4/3

Refractive index of glass is 3/2

The refractive index of water with respect to glass

$n_{wg} = \frac{ n_{w}}{ n_{g}}$

So,

$= > \frac{ \frac{4}{3} }{ \frac{3}{2} } = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{2}{3}$

$= \frac{4 \times 2}{3 \times 3}$

$= \frac{8}{9}$

Final Answer :-

The refractive index of water with respect to glass is

$= > \frac{8}{9}$
