In an experiment of finding the refractive index of glass, if blue light is replaced by the red light, how will the refractive index of the glass change? Give reason in support of your answer.

Solution:

The speed of red light in glass is faster than that of blue light. c / v is the refractive index. As a result, the refractive index of glass for red light will be lower than that for blue light.
