What happens if the refractive index of glass equals to the refractive index of air briefly?
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.
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 refractive index of a rectanguler glass block?
1.5
What is refractive index of diamond?
The (very high) refractive index of diamond is 2.4 at room temperature.(From Wikipedia: "Refractive index also describes the quantity that light is bent as it passes through a single substance."

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
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.

Define refractive index in terms of light?
Refractive index is a physicsâ?? measurement used to figure out the bend length a ray of light takes when passing through objects.
Is the refractive index of glass the same for all colours of light?
No.
Relation between refractive index and refractive power?
The refractive index and refractive power are both directly proportional becausedue to power the distance is decrease or increase if power increases or decreasesand to refractive index the bending of light occurs in towards or away. Bending oflight ray and distance of light ray are directly proportional so refractive index andpower are directly proportional.==========================Answer #2:They have very little connection, except that the same big word appears in both terms.Refractive index of a substance is the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to thespeed of light in that substance.Refractive power of an optical device, like a lens, does naturally depend somewhaton the refractive index of the material used to make the lens, but it's got muchmore to do with the shape of the lens ... the curvature of its surfaces etc.You can make lenses with a wide range of different refractive powers, all out ofthe same kind of glass with the same refractive index. And you can constructlenses that all have the same refractive power out of many many differentsubstances with different refractive indexes, like crown glass, flint glass, plastic,jello etc. So in that sense, the two are completely unrelated.
