Given:
The refractive indices of alcohol and turpentine oil with respect to air are 1.36 and 1.47
n = refractive index
(oil )n (alchol) = (turpentine oil)n / n(alcohol)
= 1.47/1.36
The refractive index of turpentine oil with respect to alcohol = 1.08
Hence, refractive index of alcohol is less than refractive index of turpentine oil , light will travel faster in the alcohol
Hope this answer will help you.....
