How and why does temperature affect the refractive index of a liquid?

Yes, the refractive index of a liquid often is different at different temperatures (usually negative; e.g. It goes down as temperature goes up), although typically the effect is very nominal. However, that is not to say that there is a constant relationship between Ref index & temperature. Refractive index is proportional to the square roots of electrical permittivity and magnetic permeability. These factors may change with temperature, but not linearly, and therefore RI does not have a simple relationship with temperature.


Does pH affect the refractive index of light?

Changing the pH the chemical composition is changed; as a consequence the the refractive index is influenced.


What is refractive index of diamond?

The (very high) refractive index of diamond is 2.4 at room temperature.(From Wikipedia: "Refractive index also describes the quantity that light is bent as it passes through a single substance."


Why is it advisable to correct the measured refractive index for temperature?

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.

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.
