Question
The refractive index of glass with respect to air 3223 and refractive index of water with respect of air is 4334 . Find the refractive index of glass with respect to water.1.5251.2251.4251.125
Solution
The refractive index of one medium with respect to another is given by the formula:
n21 = n2/n1
where n21 is the refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium 1, n2 is the refractive index of medium 2 with respect to a third medium (in this case, air), and n1 is the refractive index of medium 1 with respect to the same third medium.
Here, we want to find the refractive index of glass with respect to water. So, medium 2 is glass and medium 1 is water. The refractive index of glass with respect to air is given as 3223/1000 = 3.223 and the refractive index of water with respect to air is given as 4334/1000 = 4.334.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
n21 = n2/n1 = 3.223/4.334 = 0.744 approximately.
However, none of the options provided (1.525, 1.225, 1.425, 1.125) match this result. There might be a mistake in the problem or the options provided.
