Question

What is the reflection between refractive index and optical density? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

heya mate✌

The physical density of a material refers to the mass/volume ratio. Optical density determines how much a light wave is slowed down as it passes through a medium. The more optically dense a material is, the slower that a wave will move through the material. The refractive index is a measurement of optical density....hope it hlps❣

Answer 2

Answer:

Refractive index: Refractive index is defined as the numerical value which shows the speed of light in a particular medium.

Mathematically it is written as

n = c/v

Where c represents velocity of ligh in a vacuum and v represents velocity of light in a particular medium.

Optical density: Optical density is the measure of light intensity that is reduces when the light enters in another medium.

Formula of optical density :

log10= Io/l
