Problem

A thin glass prism of unknown refractive index is tested in air and then completely immersed in water (nwater=1.33n_{\text{water}}=1.33). Its apex angle is 4∘4^{\circ}. The measured angular deviations are 2.0∘2.0^{\circ} in air and 0.50∘0.50^{\circ} in water. The refractive index of the glass is a) 1.841.84 b) 1.431.43 c) 1.501.50 d) 1.631.63
