Answer:
The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water
Explanation:
Solution:-
- The index of refraction of light in a medium ( n ) determines the degree of "bending" of light in that medium.
- The index of refraction is material property and proportional to density of the material.
- The denser the material the slower the light will move through associated with considerable diffraction angles.
- The lighter the material the faster the light pass through the material without being diffracted as much.
- So, in the other words index of refraction can be expressed as how fast or slow light passes through a medium.
- The reference of comparison of how fast or slow the light is the value of c = 3.0*10^8 m/s i.e speed of light in vacuum or also assumed to be the case for air.
- so we can mathematically express the index of refraction as a ratio of light speed in the material specified and speed of light.
- The light passes through a liquid with speed v = 2.25*10^8 m/s :
- The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water.
