AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the refractive index of glass given that the number of light waves in an 8 cm thickness of glass is equal to the number of light waves in a 9 cm thickness of water, with the refractive index of water being 4/3. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the relationship between thickness, wavelength, and number of waves**: - The number of waves (n) in a medium can be expressed as: \[ n = \frac{\text{Thickness}}{\text{Wavelength}} ...
