Determing the refractive index of glass ...

Determing the refractive index of glass with repext to water. Given that `mu=3//2, mu_w=4//3`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Refractive index of glass with respect to water or relative refractive index of glass w.r.t. water:
`(" R.I. of glass ")/(" R.I. of water ")=mu_(gw)=(mu_(g))/(mu_(w))=(3/2)/(4/3)=9/8=1.125`
