Refractive glass what is refractive glass?
Refraction is the redirection of light. Refractive glass could be a number of things. Care to elaborate?
A lens of glass is immersed in water. What will happen to its power?
The power of a lens depends on the differences in the refractive indices of the environment and the lens material. A glass lens immersed in water will loose power (a positive lens will focus at a greater distance). (This is for normal glass with refractive index greater than water - there could be glasses with refractive index less than water in which case the lens would gain power)
The refractive index of water is 43 and for glass it is 32 with respect to airwhat is the refractive index of glass with respect to air?
"The refractive index of water is 4 / 3" means the refractive index of water with respect to air. "The refractive index of glass is 3 /2" means the refractive index of glass with respect to air. You change the question as ," what is the refractive index of glass with respect to water? The answer is it is the ratio of refractive index of of glass with respect to air to the refractive index of water with respect to air =( 3/2) divided by( 4/3) = 1.125
Which substance is used to increase the refractive index of glass?
Lead monoxide is used to increase the refractive index of glass.
Why air bubble in a glass slab have silvery look?
refractive index of glass is higher than refractive index of glass slab OR density of air is less than density of glass
Refractive index of a glass slab using a travelling microscope?
To find the refractive index of a glass slab using a travelling microscope, you would first place the glass slab on a flat surface. Using the travelling microscope, measure the apparent shift in the position of the object when viewed through the glass slab. By knowing the thickness of the glass slab and the shift in the position, you can calculate the refractive index using the formula: Refractive index (n) = (apparent shift + 1) / actual shift.
What is the refractive indices of glass water air and immersion oil?
· The refractive indices of watero Water (0° C) 1.33346Water (100° C) 1.31766Water (20° C) 1.33283· The refractive indices of immersion oil is 1.518· The refractive indices of air is 1.000277· The refractive indices of glass is 1.518
Light travels faster through water n 1 33 than it does through glass n equals 1 5?
The speed of light in any medium is given by its speed of light in vacuum divided by the refractive index of the medium and so light will travel faster in water than in glass since refractive index of glass is greater than that of water.
What is the refractive index of a rectanguler glass block?
1.5
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.
In which medium will a lens behave as a glass slab?
the medium which have the same refractive index as glass.
Why Glycerin is not visible when kept in Glass bottle?
Because it has the same refractive index as glass.
