HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
TURPENTINE IS OPTICALLY DENSER BECAUSE WHEN LIGHT RAYS PASSES FROM IT THE SPEED OF LIGHT DECREASES AND THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE LIGHT RAY PASSES FROM THE OPTICALLY RARER MEDIUM TO DENSER ITS SPEED DECREASES

When light passes through a surface, the straight beam of light is bent. The beam travels through the object along a different path than the beam was following when it entered the object. The beam of light bends again when it leaves the object. These bends at the surface boundaries between air and the object are called refraction. Refraction is caused by the fact that light travels at a constant speed only in a vacuum. When light passes through another object, the light is slowed down. The bend caused by this slowing can be calculated based on the refractive index of the object. The refractive index of an object is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the object. Use these tips to learn how to calculate the refractive index in physics.
