Question

the refractive index of water with respect to air is 4/ 3 what is the refractive index of air with respect to water

Answer 1

Given,

The refractive index of water with respect to air is 4/3.

To find,

The refractive index of air with respect to water.

we know, refractive index of A with respect to B = μ_A/μ_B

so, refractive index of water with respect to air = μ_water/μ_air

and refractive index of air with respect to water = μ_air/μ_water

now refractive index of water with respect to air × refractive index of air with respect to water = μ_water/μ_air × μ_air/μ_water = 1

⇒4/3 × refractive index of air with respect to water = 1

⇒refractive index of air with respect to water = 3/4

Answer 2

Answer: 0.75

Explanation: Given,

The refractive index of water with respect to air is 4/3.

To find,

The refractive index of air with respect to water.

we know, refractive index of A with respect to B = μ_A/μ_B

so, refractive index of water with respect to air = μ_water/μ_air

and refractive index of air with respect to water = μ_air/μ_water

now refractive index of water with respect to air × refractive index of air with respect to water = μ_water/μ_air × μ_air/μ_water = 1

⇒4/3 × refractive index of air with respect to water = 1

⇒refractive index of air with respect to water = 3/4=0.75
