Chapter 27: Q25CQ (page 995)

Answer the above question if the fluid between the two pieces of crown glass is carbon disulfide?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The refractive index of carbon disulfide is greater than that of glass.

Step by step solution

01

Define fluid

Fluids are described as materials that flow and conform to the shape of the container in which they are contained.

02

Explanation

The carbon disulfide has a refractive index that is higher than that of the glass. As a result, light traveling from the top surface (air to glass) to the lower surface (glass to carbon disulfide) will pass from a lower to a higher refractive index. As a result, the light will phase change on the upper and lower surfaces of the glass cover.
