Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 291 People


Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass is 1.6 and the absolute refractive index of glass is 1.5, then the absolute refractive index of diamond is

1.4
2.4
3.4
4.4

Answered by admin @



Heya,

Given ndg = 1.6 and ng = 1.5

Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass;

=> Absolute refractive index of diamond/Absolute refractive index of glass

So,
Absolute refractive index of diamond = Refractive in of diamond with respect to glass * Absolute refractive index of glass

So,
nd = 1.5*1.6 = 2.4

Hence the option (2) is correct i.e. 2.4 is refractive index of diamond.

Hope this helps.....:)
