Detailed Solution

The refractive index of water with respect to glass is 8/9.
“Refractive index is the measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another.”
Refractiveindex of a medium = Speed of light invacuumspeed of light in themedium
We know that the Refractive index of glass is 3/2 and refractive index of water is 4/3.
So, Refractive index of water with respect to glass =Refractive index of waterRefractive index of glass
Refractive index of water with respect to glass = Speed of lightin Vacuum Speed of light in water Speed of light in vacuum Speed of light in glass
