Question

Why is kerosene denser than water?

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass density of kerosene and water are 0.81 gm/cm3 and 1 gm/cm3 respectively. ... As kerosene has more refractive index than water, it is optically denser. The mass density of kerosene is less than water, so kerosene drops will float in water, when both are mixed.

Answer 2

Answer:

▶️q. Why is kerosene denser than water?

➡️ Ans.To put in other words, greater the optical density, greater is the retardation experiences by light in the material and this inturn translates to higher refractive index of the material. Since RI of kerosene is higher than water hence kerosene is more optically denser than water.
