Answer: THE ANSWER IS 9/8
Explanation:
n of glass/n of air =3/2-------(1)
n of water/n of air=4/3-------(2)
(1)/(2)=n of glass/n of water=9/8
given,
Refractive index of water wrt air = 4/3
Refractive index of glass wrt air = 3/2
Refractive index of glass wrt water ( glass n water) = Ref. index of water/ Ref. index of glass
= 4/3 divided by 3/2
= 4/3 x 2/3
= 8/9
