    With respect to air the refractive index of kerosene is 1.44 and that for diamond is 2.42. Calculate the refractive index of diamond with respect to kerosene.

    Marks:2
    Answer:

    Refractive index of kerosene with respect to air (n1) = 1.44
    Refractive index of diamond with respect to air (n2) = 2.42

    Refractive index of diamond with respect to kerosene,
          n21 = n2/ n1

    Or, n21 = 2.42/1.44

    Or, n21 = 1.68
