Refractive index of diamond with respect...

Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass is `1.6` and absolute refractive index of glass is `1.5`. Find out the absolute refractive index of diamond.

A

1.5

B

1.33

C

1.45

D

2.40

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`.^(g)n_(d) = 1.6, n_(g) = 1.5, n_(d) = ?`
As `.^(g)n_(d) = (n_(d))/(n_(g)) :. 1.6 = (n_(d))/(1.5)` or `n_(d) = 1.6 xx 1.5 = 2.40`.
