Q.4. The refractive index of a liquid is 1.4104 at 20 °C. Calculate the refractive index of the liquid at 25.2 °C. (Your answer must have 4 places after the decimal)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Refraction: The change in direction of a wave travelling from one medium to another caused by its change in speed is known as refraction in physics. In deep water, for example, waves travel faster than in shallow water. When an ocean wave approaches a beach obliquely, the part of the wave that is farther away from the beach moves faster than the part that is closer to the beach, causing the wave to swing around until it is perpendicular to the shoreline.
