What is the Nature of a convex lens immersed in a liquid with refractive index greater than of glass?

Usually a convex lens made up a material with higher refractive index would act as a converging device when kept in a medium having lower refractive index such as air. But when it is kept in a liquid as said with higher refractive index then convex lens would become as a concave lens. Now it would diverge the rays entering through it right from the liquid with higher refractive index.


What has the highest index of refraction?

Diamond (2.33)is far from the highest. The highest are silicon and germanium. Silicon has a refractive index of 3.96 and germanium has the highest with 4.01.


What color of light has the highest refractive index?

The refractive index is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so the shorter the wavelength (the higher the frequency, or the more "blue" the light) the higher the refractive index. Conversely, the longer the wavelength (the lower the frequency, or the more "red" the light), the lower the refractive index. Therefore as wavelength of blue in less the refractive index will be maximum. For more information, follow the related link below.


Does water or air have the highest refraction index?

Actually we define refractive index with respect to a standard medium. Air has been taken as that standard. Hence refractive index of air is 1 and that of water is 1.33. But refractive index of water with respect to glass is 1.33/1.5 = 0.887 So, the answer is "water".


How do you find the refractive index of a liquid in a beaker by using a traveling microscope?

It is very simple. First let us fix a pin at the bottom of an empty beaker. Now focus at the pin and note down the reading in the vertical scale as R1. Now pour the given liquid and once again focus the pin and note down the reading R2. Now sprinkle saw dust over the surface of liquid and focus at the dust and note down the reading R3. Now refractive index of the liquid = actual depth / apparent depth So mu of liquid = R3-R1 / R3-R2

Does black hole have the highest refractive index?

No. A black hole does not have a refractive index. The bending of light around a black hole is due to gravity, which is entirely different from refraction.

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


What is the unit of molecular refractive index?

I assume "molecular refractive index" refers to "the refractive index of a group of molecules". In this case, you just use the units for a refractive index - i.e., a dimensionless number.
