Question

Calculate the refractive index of glass w.r.t water if the refractive index of glass is 1.5and refractive index of water I'd 1.3. Also find refractive index w.r.t water .

Answer 1

Dear Student ,
​​​​​​The refractive index of water is n_{​​​​​​1}​​​ = 1.3
​​​​​​The refractive index of glass is n^{​​​​​​}_{​​​​​​2}​ =1.5
​​​​​​The refractive index of glass w.r.t to water
${n_g}^w=n_3=\frac{n_g}{n_w}$

$$\begin{gathered} n_3=\frac{1.5}{1.3} \\ {n}_3=1.15 \end{gathered}$$
This is the required answer to your question
