Chemistry Question on The solid state
Which of the following is true about the value of refractive index of quartz glass?
A
Same in all directions
B
Different in different directions
C
Cannot be measured
D
Always zero
Answer
Same in all directions
Explanation
Solution
Quartz glass is amorphous solid i.e., isotropic in nature. Therefore, value of any physical property (e.g. ; refractive index) would be same along any direction.
