yes it is!
The only reason a material is able to reflect light is because of its smooth surface and the substance that it is made of which are physical property
No, there is no direct relationship between the boiling point and refractive index of a substance. Boiling point is a physical property related to the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, whereas refractive index is a measure of how light propagates through a material.
Examples are: melting point, boiling point, density, refractive index, thermal conductivity, color, etc.
Extensive properties are physical properties that depend on the size (amount) of a system. Examples include mass and energy. Viscosity, surface tension, and refractive index are intensive properties, which do not depend on the amount of substance present.
This type of property is a physical property.
The refractive index of lipids can vary depending on the specific lipid composition. In general, lipids have a refractive index range of approximately 1.42 to 1.47. This property can be utilized in various techniques such as microscopy to study lipid-containing structures.
Refractive index of vacuum is 1.
Refractive index is intensive, meaning it does not depend on the amount of material present. It is a property of the material itself and is constant regardless of the size or quantity of the material.
The refractive index of an inorganic solution is directly related to its physical density. As the physical density of the solution increases, the refractive index also increases. This relationship stems from the fact that the speed of light through a medium, which is related to refractive index, is influenced by the density of the medium.
The refractive index is a physical property of the medium that depends on the wavelength of the light, and the temperature. The temperature needs to be specified, and is usually 20 or 25 degree Celsius. The refractive index decreases with increasing temperature, and for most organic compounds one can correct for the temperature.
A physical property of a material is an intrinsic characteristic of this material; examples: density, hardness, refractive index, boiling point etc. This not depends on the material mass. The physical quantity is a measure of the property; examples: g/cm3, volt, pascal, coulomb etc.
