Question
Analyse from the picture and find out the substance that has the highest refractive index.
Hint:
The refraction depends on the density of the medium. The refraction in a more dense medium will bend the ray towards the normal.
The correct answer is:
Analyzing the picture, it can be the glycerin has a high refractive index as the refracted ray bends more towards the normal.
- The refraction in a more dense medium will bend the ray towards the normal.
- The refraction depends on the density of the medium.
- The glycerin has a higher density compared to water and less dense liquids and the refraction will be more in that.
