Question

The refractive indicles of water and glass are 4/3 and 3/2 respectively. Write the relation and
find the value of refractive index of water with
respect to glass and glass with respect to water.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given nga =3/2

And nwa=4/3

Hence refractive index of glass with respect to water is:

ngw=nga/ nwa = ( 3/2)/(4/3)=9/8

Now refractive index of water with respect to glass is :

nwg = nwa/ nga = (4/3)/(3/2) = 8/9
