Maybe this isn't the answer you're looking for, but the index of refraction of saline solutions of various concentrations is well known. You would just use a table...

What does light do when it enters a medium?
refraction occurs if the medium is water. or it bounces of a solid,my guess :D
If a glass prism were in a medium with the same index of refraction would it separate wight light into different color?
No, it would not.
What is the relevance of the large value of refractive index of diamond in costume jewelry?
The high index of refraction of diamond produces a rainbow effect of multi-colored glitter. This is difficult to reproduce in the less expensive materials used for costume jewelry.
Describe an experiment to find the refractive index of a glass block?
You can investigate fraction in glass using a rectangular glass block. By tracing the rays of light on a piece of paper, you can measure the angles of incidence (i) and refraction (r). If you repeat this process for a range of different angles of incidence, you would find that the sine of the angle of incidence and the sine of the angle of refraction are constant. This ratio is called the refractive index of the material, and is given the letter n.The angles of incidence and refraction are related by the following equation:sin in=__________sin r
What is refractive index of glass?

How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
Q: How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
What is the bending of light rays as it passes from one material into another?
Index Of Refraction
When light passes from a medium with a high index of refraction into a medium with a lower index of refraction which direction does the light bend?
A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.
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".
When the mineral uvarovite has an index of refraction of 1.86. calculate the speed of light in this sample of uvarovite?
Use the definition of "index of refraction". In this case, you simply need to divide the speed of light in a vacuum by the index of refraction.
What is the refraction index of oil?
200
What is a property of a material that indicates how much it reduces the speed of light?
well kids, the answer is INDEX OF REFRACTION. (: science question on my homework
How is the index of refraction of a medium related to the speed light of in the medium?
c divided by the index of refraction of the medium = the speed of light in the medium.
does light travels three-fourths as fast through water as it does a vacuum. what is water's index in refraction?
Water's index of refraction is 1.333
When the mineral uvarovite has an index of refraction of 1.86. calculate the speed of light in this sample of uvarovite.?
Use the definition of "index of refraction". In this case, you simply need to divide the speed of light in a vacuum by the index of refraction.
What is the index of refraction for air?
Approximately 1
What happens when a light moves from a material with a lower index of refraction to another material with a higher index of refraction?
The ray of light bends towards the normal.
