A container is filled with fluid 1, and the apparent depth of the fluid is 9.00 cm. The container is next filled with fluid 2, and the apparent depth of this fluid is 6.86 cm. If the index of refraction of the first fluid is 1.37, what is the index of refraction of the second fluid

The refractive index of fluid 2 is 1.78

Explanation:

Refractive index , n = real depth/apparent depth

For the first fluid, n = 1.37 and apparent depth = 9.00 cm.

The real depth of the container is thus

real depth = n × apparent depth = 1.37 × 9.00 cm = 12.33 cm

To find the refractive index of fluid index of fluid 2, we use the relation  

Refractive index , n = real depth/apparent depth.

Now,the real depth = 12.33 cm and the apparent depth = 6.86 cm.

So, n = 12.33 cm/6.86 cm = 1.78

So the refractive index of fluid 2 is 1.78
