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.

Why does a piece of glass of irregular shape becomes invisible when it is immersed in liquid of same refractive index?
When light passes from one medium to another with the same refractive index, there is no change in the speed of light, and the light does not bend or refract. This causes the light to pass through without changing direction, making the irregularly shaped glass appear invisible when immersed in the liquid of the same refractive index.
A laser beam is incident on wet piece of filter paper atop a sheet of glass whos index of refraction is to be measured what is the index of refraction of the glass?
The presence of the wet filter paper will alter the light's path due to refraction, allowing for measurements to determine the glass's index of refraction. By measuring the angles of incidence and refraction and applying Snell's Law, the glass's refractive index can be calculated. The refractive index of the glass can be determined by comparing the angle of incidence and refraction with and without the wet filter paper.
Why does a diamond shine more than a glass piece?
Diamonds have a higher refractive index than glass, which means they are better at bending and reflecting light. This results in more light being reflected back to your eyes, giving diamonds a brighter and shinier appearance compared to glass. Additionally, diamonds have a higher dispersion rate, which causes them to sparkle more.
What makes crystal glass ring?
Crystal glass rings are made by combining glass particles with lead oxide to increase the refractive index and create a brilliant shine. The mixture is then melted, molded into a ring shape, and cooled to form the final piece. Additionally, cutting and polishing techniques enhance the sparkle by creating facets on the surface of the ring.
What type of glass is lens is made up of?
A contact lens is a small, shell-shaped piece of eyeware used to correct vision. It is placed directly over the cornea (the transparent, or clear, tissue over the pupil and the iris, or colored part of the eye). There are two types of contact lenses. One is the corneal contact lens which covers only the cornea, and the other is the scleral contact lens, which covers the cornea and a part of the sclera (the white part of the eye). The contact lens is held in place by fluid attraction forces. These forces are easy to demonstrate. If two pieces of glass are placed together with water between them, it is easy to slide the pieces back and forth. But separating the two pieces of glass is very difficult. Today contact lenses are made from plastics and gels, but the original contact lenses were made of glass blown by glassblowers. Here akshara is giving the uses of lens but she has not explained what it is made up from ? Lens are made up of Flint glass because it has high refractive index . Now you must be thinking .. "What is refractive index ?" Ans : Suppose a ray of light travelling in air enters into another medium like water or glass and gets refracted is called the refractive index of that medium .The refractive index is usually denoted by the symbol n .

Describe an experiment to find the refractive index of a glass block?
You can investigate fraction in glass using a rectangular glass block. By tracing the rays of light on a piece of paper, you can measure the angles of incidence (i) and refraction (r). If you repeat this process for a range of different angles of incidence, you would find that the sine of the angle of incidence and the sine of the angle of refraction are constant. This ratio is called the refractive index of the material, and is given the letter n.The angles of incidence and refraction are related by the following equation:sin in=__________sin r
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.

Is there any unusual thing about pumice?
Try putting a piece in a glass of water and see what happens...
Can a piece if glass reflect more light than a piece of paper?
Yes, glass can reflect more light than paper because it is a smoother and more reflective surface. Glass tends to have a higher index of reflection compared to paper, leading to more light being bounced off its surface.
What do you call a piece of glass in a frame?
A piece of glass in a frame is commonly referred to as a framed glass or glass pane.
What is a piece of glass called?
a piece of glass is a transparent object
What is a piece of glass that has apolished flat sides at an angle?
A bevelled piece of glass.
