- Sapphire – 1.77 is a correct pair as the refractive index of Sapphire is indeed 1.77.
- Benzene – 2.42 is an incorrect pair since the refractive index of Benzene is approximately 1.50, not 2.42.
- Ruby – 1.71 is a correct pair as the refractive index of Ruby is indeed around 1.71.
- Kerosene – 1.44 is a correct pair as the refractive index of Kerosene is approximately 1.44.
Additional Information
- Refractive index is a measure of how much the speed of light is reduced inside a medium.
- It is calculated as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the medium.
- Different materials have different refractive indices, which can be used to identify them or to design optical devices.
- Materials with higher refractive indices bend light more than those with lower refractive indices.
