What would occur if water were accidentally used in place of immersion oil?
When using the oil immersion objective, the oil has the same refractive index as the glass. So it is like an extension of the lens. Water does not have the same refraction index as glass, so the image would not be as clear.
What are immersion heaters used for?
Immersion heaters are used for heating water in a hot water tank. Immersion heaters are usually controlled by thermostat and they will heat your water to a set temperature for as long as you leave it on that setting, or you can have a timer set. It is usually an expensive way to heat water compared to central heating systems with hot water circuits.
Stage 4 (post-immersion collapse) of cold water immersion can occur even after being rescued. What happens during Stage 4 of cold water immersion?
You can experience collapse of arterial blood pressure, leading to cardiac arrest.
What does glass feel like?
glass feels smooth and glass is made from sand and water =]
Why do droplets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?
this is called condensation in the water cycle it forms water droplet because when the liquid turns into gas the particles move and when they spread apart and float away some get stuck on the sides of the glass cup. Then with enough of the gas particles come together turning it into droplets and goes back into water to do it all over again.
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".
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)
What would occur if water were accidentally used in place of immersion oil?
When using the oil immersion objective, the oil has the same refractive index as the glass. So it is like an extension of the lens. Water does not have the same refraction index as glass, so the image would not be as clear.
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
Discussion of reflactive index of glass and water?

Refractive index of oil and water?
Glasses of various types have refractive indices ranging from 1,4 to over 2,0
Will light be refracted more when it goes from air to glass or from air to water?
Gets refracted more in case of glass than water as glass has higher refractive index with respect to air
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".
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 meaning of the graphs of Snell's law?
The graph of Snell's Law is used to calculate the Refractive Index of a material. Sin (i) over sin (r) gives you your refractive Index. This is diffrent for Diffrent materials. IE refractive Index in a: Vaccum = 1 Water =1.33 Glass = Average of about 1.5, depending on what type of glass Diamond = 2.42 Air (STP) = 1.0003
Differences between relative refractive index and absoulate refractive index?
Refractive Index(i) Refractive index of a medium is that characteristic which decides speed of light in it.(ii) It is a scalar, unit less and dimensionless quantity.(iii) Absolute refractive index :When light travels from vacuum to any transparent medium then refractive index of medium w.r.t. vacuum is called it's absolute refractive index i.e. vacuumµmedium = c/vAbsolute refractive indices for glass, water and diamond are respectively µg = 3/2 = 1.5, µw = 4/3 = 1.33 and µD = 12/5 = 2.4(iv) Relative refractive index :When light travels from medium (1) to medium (2) then refractive index of medium (2) w.r.t. medium (1) is called it's relative refractive index i.e. 1µ2 = µ2/µ1 = v1/v2 (where v1 and v2 are the speed of light in medium 1 and 2 respectively).(v) When we say refractive index we mean absolute refractive index.(vi) The minimum value of absolute refractive index is 1. For air it is very near to 1. ( 1.003)
