Q7 of 84 Page 296

The refractive index of glass with respect to air is and refractive index of water with respect to air is . What will be the refractive index of water with respect to glass?

Refractive index of air, μair = 1;

Given;


Refractive index of water w.r.t air, aμw ;


Refractive index of glass w.r.t air, aμg ;


Refractive index of water w.r.t glass = gμw = =


⇒ gμw =


∴ Refractive index of water w.r.t glass is .
