If refractive indices of glass and water...

If refractive indices of glass and water with respect to air are `3//2` and `4//3` respectively, what is the refractive index of glass with respect to water ?

A

`8/9`

B

`9/8`

C

`7/6`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`""_(a)mu_(g)="refractive Index of glass w.r.t. water"`
`""_(w)mu_(g)=(""_amu_g)/(""_amu_w)`
`(3//2)/(4//3)=(3xx3)/(4xx2)=9/8`
