The refractive indices of glass and wate...

The refractive indices of glass and water are `3/2` and `4/3` respectively. The refractive index of glass with respect to water is

A

`8//9`

B

`9//8`

C

`7//6`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`n_(ga) = (3)/(2), n_(wa) = (4)/(3)`
`n_(gw) = (n_(ga))/(n_(wa)) = (3)/(2) xx (3)/(4) = (9)/(8).`
