If the refractive index is k then the speed of light is c/k metres per second where c is the speed of light in vacuum (approx 299,792,458 m/s).

What is the Nature of a convex lens immersed in a liquid with refractive index greater than of glass?

Usually a convex lens made up a material with higher refractive index would act as a converging device when kept in a medium having lower refractive index such as air. But when it is kept in a liquid as said with higher refractive index then convex lens would become as a concave lens. Now it would diverge the rays entering through it right from the liquid with higher refractive index.

How does refractive index vary with wavelength?

Part 1 - WHY does refractive index vary?The refractive index of a material is determined by how quickly light travels through it. Different wavelengths travel at different speeds, hence the refractive index varies with wavelength. This is known as (chromatic) dispersion.In glass, red light travels faster than blue light, which is why a prism can be used to split white light into a rainbow.Part 2 - HOW does refractive index vary? (ie. Define the relationship).Sorry - I haven't a clue. I'm looking for the answer as well!


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."


What can you tell us about the refractive index?

"The refractive index is a measure of how much light bends or refracts when it is passed through a certain medium. The higher the numerical value of the refractive index, the more that light suffers from refraction."


What is the refractive index?

refractive index is the measure of how how fast or slow light travel through a material reference to the speed of light in empty space.

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
