The correct Answer is:
To find the refractive index of the glass piece that disappears in a liquid with a known refractive index, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Refraction**: - When an object is placed in a medium, it becomes visible or invisible based on the difference in refractive indices between the object and the medium. If the refractive indices are the same, the object becomes invisible. 2. **Identify Given Information**: - The refractive index of the liquid is given as \( \frac{4}{3} \). 3. **Apply the Condition for Disappearance**: - Since the glass piece disappears in the liquid, we conclude that the refractive index of the glass piece must be equal to the refractive index of the liquid. 4. **Set Up the Equation**: - Let the refractive index of the glass piece be \( n_g \). - According to the condition for disappearance, we have: \[ n_g = n_l \] - Where \( n_l \) is the refractive index of the liquid. 5. **Substitute the Known Value**: - We know that \( n_l = \frac{4}{3} \). - Therefore, substituting this value into our equation gives: \[ n_g = \frac{4}{3} \] 6. **Conclusion**: - The refractive index of the glass piece is \( \frac{4}{3} \). ### Final Answer: The refractive index of the glass piece is \( \frac{4}{3} \). ---
