A container is filled with fluid 1 and the apparent depth of the fluid is 5 cm.The container is next filled with fluid 2,and the apparent depth of this fluid is 4 cm.What is the ratio of the indices of refraction of these fluids?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ratio of the indices of refraction of the two fluids can be found using the formula n1/n2 = h2/h1, where h1 and h2 are the apparent depths of the fluids. Therefore, n1/n2 = 5/4.
