You are given water, mustard oil, glycerine and kerosene. In which of these media a ray of light incident obliquely at same angle would bend the most ?

A

Kerosene

B

Water

C

Mustard oil

D

Glycerine

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The given material having their refractive index as kerosene is 1.44, water is 1.33, musterd oil is 1.46 and glycerine is 1.74. Thus, glycerine is most optically denser and hence have the largest refractive index. Therefore, ray of light bend most in glycerine.
