Answer:
refractive index of B /refractive index of A=
1.5/1.2
Given that,
Refractive index of A = 1.2
Refractive index of B = 1.5
Refractive index :
Refractive index is equal to the ratio of velocity of light in vacuum and velocity of light in medium.
We need to calculate the refractive index of B with respect to A
Using formula of refractive index
Where, = refractive index of A
= refractive index of B
Hence, The refractive index of B with respect to A is 1.25
