A solid piece of clear transparent material has an index of refraction of 1.61. If you place it into a clear transparent solution and it seems to disappear, approximately what is the index of refraction of the solution

Answer:

1.61

Explanation:

According to Oxford dictionary, refractive index is, ''the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specified medium.''

If the clear transparent solid disappears when dipped into the liquid, it means that the index of refraction of the solid and liquid are equal.

Hence, when a transparent solid is immersed in a liquid having the same refractive index, there is no refraction at the boundary between the two media. As long as there is no refraction between the two media, the solid can not be seen because the solid and liquid will appear to the eye as one material.
