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 .
