Answer to Question #238936 in Optics for Jessica Martins

Question

The fragment "[...] as in the case of light passing through darkness" refers to the propagation of light rays. Suppose a beam of monochromatic light strikes a cylindrical container of height H = 16 centimeters and radius R = 10 centimeters. With the container empty, the beam passes close to the upper edge and strikes the lower edge at a diametrically opposite point (figure below). The container is then filled completely with liquid glycerin, and the beam is deflected and strikes the center, at the bottom of the container.

Based on this information and considering the refractive index of air equal to 1, it can be stated that the refractive index n of glycerin is:
