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
