Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 9/8.Key Points
- Refractive index is the measure of the bending of light as it passes through a medium.
- The refractive index of medium A with respect to medium B can be calculated by dividing the refractive index of medium A by the refractive index of medium B.
- Therefore, the refractive index of medium A with respect to medium B is 3/2 divided by 4/3 = 9/8.
Additional Information
- How much light is bent, or refracted, as it enters a material is determined by its refractive index.
- In mathematical formulae and descriptive texts, the letter n or n' is most frequently used to represent the refractive index variable.
- The velocity of light of a certain wavelength in empty space, c, divided by its velocity in a substance, v, yields the refractive index, which is also equal to n = c/v.
