"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 refractive index vary with colour of light?
Yes refractive index of the material of the medium [glass] with respect to air is high for violet and low for red.
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".
Which substance is used to increase the refractive index of glass?
Lead monoxide is used to increase the refractive index of glass.
Refractive index of diamond with respect to kerosene?
1.680
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

Refractive index of a glass slab using a travelling microscope?
To find the refractive index of a glass slab using a travelling microscope, you would first place the glass slab on a flat surface. Using the travelling microscope, measure the apparent shift in the position of the object when viewed through the glass slab. By knowing the thickness of the glass slab and the shift in the position, you can calculate the refractive index using the formula: Refractive index (n) = (apparent shift + 1) / actual shift.
Discussion of reflactive index of glass and water?
Refractive Index of water=1.333 Refractive Index of Sea water=1.343
Why air bubble in a glass slab have silvery look?
refractive index of glass is higher than refractive index of glass slab OR density of air is less than density of glass

What is refractive index of AIR?
1Ideally speaking, the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction will be the same if the medium is the same. So the refractive index will be 1.However, refractive index is, again, a relative value. If we say that the refractive index of glass is 1.5, it implies that the refractive index of glass, with respect to air is 1.5. So the value might change based on the media involved in refraction.It can also be safely concluded, without much Physics, that any multiplicative quantity for the standard element will be 1. (ex: speed of sound is Mach 1)
