Title: Refractive index and density of a liquid
Post by: Win,odd Dhamnekar on April 02, 2021, 10:23:38 AM
 The liquid is water. The refractive index of water is 1.333 and density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. The refractive index of a medium can be calculated using the following formula:
[tex]n = \frac{c}{v}[/tex]
where n is the refractive index of the medium
c is the velocity of light in vacuum
v is the velocity of light in the medium
