Question

THE REFRACTIVE INDEX OF DENSE FLINT GLASS IS 1.65 AND FOR ALCOHOL 1.36 WITH RSPECT TO AIR. WHAT IS THE REFRACTIVE INDEX OF DENSE LINT GLASS WRT ALCOHOL

Answer 1

R.I. of flint glass w.r.t. air is = ^aμ_fg = 1.65

R.I. of alcohol w.r.t. air is = ^aμ_al = 1.36

So, R.I. of flint glass w.r.t. alcohol is,

^alμ_fg = (^aμ_fg)/(^aμ_al) = 1.65/1.36 = 1.21
