Answer:
1.17
Explanation:
Given that,
The refractive index of ice wrt air = 1.31
The refractive index of rock salt wrt air = 1.54
We need to find the refractive index of rock salt with respect to ice.
We know that,
refractive index = (speed of light in air or vaccum)/( speed of light in that medium)
So,
The speed of light in ice = c/(1.31)
The speed of light in rock salt = c/(1.54)
So, the refractive index of rock salt with respect to ice is :
[tex]\mu=\dfrac{1.54}{1.31}\\\\=1.17[/tex]
So, the required refractive index of rock salt wrt ice is 1.17.
