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.
Why do letters appear to be bigger when a drop of water is above them?
The drop of water acts like a magnifying glass. It would be a similar shape to one, while the water (having a different refractive index) will slow light down and distort it in the same way as the glass would.
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
What happens to the speed of light when it passes from water to glass?
the speed of light it different when it is passed through air, water or glass because all these have different optical densities. Speed of light is fastest in air, slower in water and slowest in glass.
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

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 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?
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".
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 is the refraction index of glass?
1.33 The IOR of 1.33 is the common value for water at 0°C, and to me is not the common accepted value for glass. That being said, there are many different types of glass, and they all vary in IOR. However a common standard value for glass is 1.5
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.
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.
