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.

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.
What is the refractive index of a rectanguler glass block?
1.5
In which medium will a lens behave as a glass slab?
the medium which have the same refractive index as glass.
How is the refractive index of glass is to water is related with that of air is to water?
Each substance has an index of refraction. The index of refraction of water is about 1.3330 . The index of refraction of air at standard conditions is about 1.0003 . There is no such thing as the index of refraction of "water to air".

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.
Discussion of reflactive index of glass and water?
Refractive Index of water=1.333 Refractive Index of Sea water=1.343
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

Is the refractive index of glass the same for all colours of light?
No.
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.

Does refractive index vary with colour of light?
Yes refractive index of the material of the medium [glass] with respect to air is high for violet and low for red.
