To solve the problem, we need to find the refractive index of the second liquid given that the number of waves in a 3 cm thick layer of the first liquid is equal to the number of waves in a 4 cm thick layer of the second liquid. The refractive index of the first liquid is given as 1.8. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the relationship between thickness, wavelength, and number of waves:** The number of waves in a medium can be expressed as: \[ n = \frac{T}{\lambda} ...
