Best Answer

When light passes from one substance to another, and both have the same refractive index, then there will be no refraction - or change of direction - at the border. It is as if there were only one substance.

Refraction is the redirection of light. Refractive glass could be a number of things. Care to elaborate?


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

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.


What is the refractive indices of glass water air and immersion oil?

· The refractive indices of watero Water (0° C) 1.33346Water (100° C) 1.31766Water (20° C) 1.33283· The refractive indices of immersion oil is 1.518· The refractive indices of air is 1.000277· The refractive indices of glass is 1.518


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.
