Question

The refractive index of water and glass with respect to air is 1.3 and 1.5 respectively then the refractive index of glass with respect to water will be: (A)  (2.6/1.5)  (B)  (1.5/2.6)  (C)  (1.5/1.3)  (D)  (1.3/1.5)

Here: Refractive index of water with respect to air =1.3 Refractive index of glass w.r.t. air =1.5 From the formula the refractive index of glass with respect to water is grating =( text Refractive index of glass w.r.t. air / text Refractive index of water w.r.t. air ) =(1.5/1.3)

Q. The refractive index of water and glass with respect to air is $1.3$ and $1.5$ respectively then the refractive index of glass with respect to water will be:

$\frac{2.6}{1.5}$

$\frac{1.5}{2.6}$

$\frac{1.5}{1.3}$

$\frac{1.3}{1.5}$

Here : Refractive index of water with respect to air $= 1.3$
Refractive index of glass w.r.t. air $= 1.5$
From the formula the refractive index of glass with respect to water is grating
$= \frac{Refractive index of glass w.r.t. air}{Refractive index of water w.r.t. air}$
$= \frac{1.5}{1.3}$

Q. The refractive index of water and glass with respect to air is 1.3 and 1.5 respectively then the refractive index of glass with respect to water will be:
