The focal point of a lens depends on which two things?
Radius of curvature and refractive index of the material
What determines the focal length of two sides of a lens?
Their radii of curvature and the refractive index of the material of the lens.
What will happen when two different medium of same refractive index?
The angle of incidence will equal the angle of refraction. If two medium have the same refractive index, light does not bend.
Why does refractive index not have units?
Because it is the ratio of two speeds (which will have identical units), the units cancel.
What are the values for refractive index of glass?
Glass may have different compounds added to it to achieve a desired effect. Typcially, soda-lime glass has a refractive index around 1.5, meaning that light travels through it at two-thirds the speed it does through a vacuum.

What determines the focal length of two sides of a lens?
Their radii of curvature and the refractive index of the material of the lens.
Will light bend if it enters a new material?
Yes. It depends on the angle of incidence and the details of refractive index of materials.
What is refractive index of human body?
is the two human body have different refractive index
What will happen when two different medium of same refractive index?
The angle of incidence will equal the angle of refraction. If two medium have the same refractive index, light does not bend.
Relation between refractive index and refractive power?
The refractive index and refractive power are both directly proportional becausedue to power the distance is decrease or increase if power increases or decreasesand to refractive index the bending of light occurs in towards or away. Bending oflight ray and distance of light ray are directly proportional so refractive index andpower are directly proportional.==========================Answer #2:They have very little connection, except that the same big word appears in both terms.Refractive index of a substance is the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to thespeed of light in that substance.Refractive power of an optical device, like a lens, does naturally depend somewhaton the refractive index of the material used to make the lens, but it's got muchmore to do with the shape of the lens ... the curvature of its surfaces etc.You can make lenses with a wide range of different refractive powers, all out ofthe same kind of glass with the same refractive index. And you can constructlenses that all have the same refractive power out of many many differentsubstances with different refractive indexes, like crown glass, flint glass, plastic,jello etc. So in that sense, the two are completely unrelated.
If one medium is in kept in another medium of same refractive index - will it be visible?
No, if the refractive indexes of the two mediums are exactly identical it will be invisible.
What are two important properties of elements?
Examples: density, melting point, refractive index.
Why does refractive index not have units?
Because it is the ratio of two speeds (which will have identical units), the units cancel.
The two most important physical properties of glass for forensic comparisons are?
refractive index and density.
What is Refractive Index of hydrocarbon?
The refractive index of hydrocarbon depends on the specific hydrocarbon compound. Generally, hydrocarbons have low refractive indices since they are non-polar and have a simple molecular structure. The refractive index can be determined experimentally and may vary slightly depending on factors such as temperature and impurities in the hydrocarbon sample.
How do you find the ratio of a rectangular prism?
The answer depends on the ratio of what characteristic you want. Ratios of interest are between any two linear measures, or all three; the surface area to volume, mass to volume (density), speed of light in air (vacuum) and the prism material (refractive index); and so on. In the first two examples above, the shape of the prism is relevant, in the second two, the material that it is made of will matter.
