प्रश्न
Absolute refractive indices of diamond and water are 2.42 and 1.33 respectively. Find the value of refractive index of water w.r.t. diamond.
उत्तर
Refractive index of water w.r. t. air is = 1.33
Similarly refractive index of diamond w.r.t. air is = 2.4
So,
Refractive index of water with respect to diamond is = `1.33/2.4 ` = 0.55
