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)
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
Is it possible to have total internal reflection of light incident from air to glass?
If you mean that the light is in the glass, and the air is on the "outside", then yes. The other way it isn't possible; for total internal reflection, the material through which light travels must needs have a higher refractive index.
Why blue light bends more than red in a prism?
In white light various colors of light are mixed together, primarily blue yellow and red. When white light in air passes through a glass prism having a certain refractive index, all the differently colored lights have the same angle of incidence (θ) but each differently colored light has a different emergent angle of refraction, going from red light (at the minimum angle) to blue light (having the maximum angle).According to the refractive index formula n = sin θ ／ sin γ, where n is the refractive index of the prism, sin θ is the sine of the angle of incidence (θ) and sin γ is the sine of the angle of refraction (γ).I believe that is just a different way of describing the effect, not an explanation. Red light in glass travels at a lower speed than in air or vacuum. So when a wavefront hits a flat surface of glass at an angle, the end of the wave front inside the glass travels more slowly than the part of the wavefront that has not yet entered the glass. But the wave front must still be continuous all along its length, and the only way to achieve that is if the wavefront inside the glass proceeds in a tilted direction. The slower the light in the glass, the bigger the change in angle. Green light in glass travels faster than red and slower than blue. So the different colors are spread into different angles of refraction.
Why is white light dispersed by a glass prism?
When white light(composite light) consisting of various colors is passed through a prism, light of different colors will be deviated through different angles. Since the deviation is related to refractive index and refractive index to the color of light the deviation produced for different colors are different for same prism.That is the refractive indices are different for the various colors and this difference in the refractive indices is responsible for dispersion.
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
Does oil has the same refractive index as glass?
No, oil does not have the same refractive index as glass. Glass typically has a higher refractive index than most oils. This difference in refractive index is what causes light to bend or change direction when it passes from one medium (like oil) to another (like glass).
Discussion of reflactive index of glass and water?
The refractive index of glass is around 1.5, while the refractive index of water is around 1.33. This means that light travels faster in water than in glass. The difference in refractive index is why we observe light bending when it passes from air into glass or water, a phenomenon known as refraction.
What are the values for refractive index of glass?
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.
What medium has higher refractive index?
Generally, denser mediums have higher refractive index. For example, water has a higher refractive index compared to air. Similarly, glass has a higher refractive index than water.
What is the refractive index of a rectanguler glass block?
The refractive index of a rectangular glass block depends on the type of glass used. However, common values for the refractive index of glass are around 1.5 to 1.7. This value indicates how much light is bent or refracted as it passes through the glass block.
Which has higher refractive index?
The one in which the speed of light is less has.
Refractive index of a glass slab using a travelling microscope?
Depending on the type of glass your glass slab is made of, it will have a different refractive index. Common microscope slides are made of soda-lime glass, which have a refractive index of 1.46.
What is the refractive index of water with respect to glass?
The refractive index of water with respect to glass is approximately 1.33. This means that light travels about 1.33 times faster in glass compared to water.
Which substance is used to increase the refractive index of glass?
Metal oxides are commonly used to increase the refractive index of glass. Substances such as lead oxide, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide are added to glass formulations to enhance its optical properties.
How can you determine if glass is borosilicate?
To determine if glass is borosilicate, you can perform a test using a polariscope or a refractometer to measure its refractive index. Borosilicate glass has a higher refractive index compared to regular glass, which can help identify it.
Will the focal length of glass lens change when dipped in liquid of refractive index equal to glass?
Everything a lens does is the result of the change of refractive index at its surface.If the lens is surrounded by a medium with the same refractive index as the glass,then there is no refraction (bending) of light at the glass surface, and the lens is nolonger a lens. If you could find such a liquid, you might not even be able to see thatthere's a lens down there in it.
