If the refractive index of water with respect to air is 1.33 and of that of glass with respect to air is 1.5 then
A. water is optically denser than glass.
B. air is optically densest of all the three media.
C. air’s optical density is between glass and air.
D. glass is optically denser than water.
Dear Student,
Higher the refractive index of a medium, optically denser is the medium.
Given,
Refractive index of water with respect to air is 1.33.
Refractive index of glass with respect to air is 1.5.
So,
Glass is optically denser than water.
Ans (D)
