Detailed Solution

The refractive index of benzene with respect to water is 1.13.
Given,
μw=1.33 and μb=1.50
Let μb be the refractive index of benzene and μw be the refractive index of the water.
Also, let μbw be the refractive index of benzene with respect to water.
Using the formula
μbw=μbμw
μbw=1.501.33
μbw=1.13
Hence, the refractive index of benzene with respect to water is 1.13.
