What has the index of refraction of 1.376?

Fill a glass with water. Put a straight rod or pencil into the water at an angle. You see an apparent bend in the straight rad. This is caused by the different indexes of refraction of air and water.


What is the value of the index of refraction of a medium means?

Refractive index value of a medium - when it is higher then the speed of light in that medium would become lower. In case of water it travels faster compared to that in glass. In case of diamond the speed is further reduced. Since the refractive index is inversely related to the speed of light in the medium.


Is it correct to say a cold glass of water or a glass of cold water?

It depends If the water is cold and the temp of glass don;t matter than it is glass of cold water If the glass is cold and the temp of the water don't matter than it is cold glass of water People normally use glass of cold water


Why does a piece of glass dipped in glycerol become invisible?

Because Glycerol and glass have the same refractive index. ie light is bent (refracted) by the same amount when the light travels from air to either the glass or the glycerol. Therefore when combined together you will only see the exterior substance (in this case glycerol) not what is hidden inside it. I believe there is a similar affect with diamonds in immersed in water ie. they disappear. This is also apparently a good way to check if a diamond is real.

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 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.

Is the refractive index of water wrt glass less or more than 1?

The refractive index of water with respect to glass is more than 1. This means that light travels faster in water than in glass, causing the light to bend when it passes from glass to water.


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".


What is the change of path of a light ray from glass into water?

Index of retraction


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 happens when you look at an index card that is placed behind a glass of water?

you see the index card. maybe curving a little.


Will light be refracted more when it goes from air to glass or from air to water?

Light will be refracted more when it goes from air to glass, as the refractive index of glass is higher than that of water. Snell's Law states that the angle of refraction is dependent on the refractive indices of the two mediums, with a higher refractive index resulting in a greater change in direction.


What units would you use to measure a glass of water?

That depends what aspect of the glass of water you want to measure: its height, its volume, its mass, its index of refraction, etc.


How does a glass is made invisible?

submerge it in a liquid that has the same index of refraction eg. water.


What happens if you put a piece of glass into water and both have the same refractive index?

Good question. This is the basis of a simple test used to identify various transparent items. In a test apparatus, one would be provided with a number of fluids each with a known and different refractive index. Thus when your sample (a headlight glass splinter for example) is put in the appropriate fluid, it will appear to disappear.
