Last updated at Dec. 16, 2024 by Teachoo

Find out, from Table 10.3, the medium having highest optical density. Also find the medium with lowest optical density

 

Answer

We know that,

A substance having higher refractive index has higher optical density.

 

From table 10.3, we can infer that

Diamond has the highest refractive index (2.42)

Hence, it has the highest optical density.

 

Air has the lowest refractive index (1.0003)

Hence, it has the lowest optical density.
