    Question

    Sort the following materials in ascending order of their respective refractive indices - Water, Glass, Air.

    A.

    Glass, Water, Air

    B.

    Air, Water, Glass

    C.

    Water, Air, Glass

    D.

    Glass, Air, Water

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) Air, Water, Glass.
    · The materials sorted in ascending order of their refractive indices are Air, Water, Glass.
    Explanation:
    · Refractive Index (RI) is a measure of how much light bends when it enters a medium. A higher refractive index indicates that light bends more.
    · Refractive Indices:
    · Air: ~1.0003 (approximately 1)
    · Water: ~1.33
    · Glass: ~1.5 to 1.9 (depending on the type of glass)
    Thus, the ascending order of refractive indices is: Air<Water<Glass
