Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass is 1.6 and absolute refractive index of glass is 1.5. Find out the absolute refractive index of diamond.
उत्तर
Given:
Refractive Index of glass (ng) = 1.5
Refractive Index of diamond with respect to glass (ndg) = 1.6
Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass =
`("Refractive index of diamond" ("n"_"d"))/("Refractive index of glass")`
`1.6 = "n"_"d"/1.5`
nd = 1.5 × 1.6
= 2.4
Hence, the absolute refractive index of diamond is 2.4.

Define Snell's law of refraction. A ray of light is incident on a glass slab at an angle of incidence of 60°. If the angle of refraction be 32.7°, calculate the refractive index of glass. (Given : sin 60° = 0.866, and sin 32.7° = 0.540).
The speed of light in vacuum and in two different glasses is given in the table below:

Light travels with a velocity 1.5 x 108 m/s in a medium. On entering second medium its velocity becomes 0.75 x 108 m/s. What is the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first medium?
Noor, a young student, was trying to demonstrate some properties of light in her Science project work. She kept ‘X’ inside the box (as shown in the figure) and with the help of a laser pointer made light rays pass through the holes on one side of the box. She had a small butter-paper screen to see the spots of light being cast as they emerged.
She measured the angles of incidence for both the rays on the left side of the box to be 48.60. She knew the refractive index of the material ‘X’ inside the box was 1.5. What will be the approximate value of angle of refraction?
(use the value: sin 48.6° ≈ 0.75)
How is the refractive index of material related to the velocity of light?
