In finding out refractive index of glass slab the following observations were made through travelling microscope 50 vernier scale division =49 MSD;20 divisions on main scale in each cm
For mark on paper
MSR =8.45 cm,VC=26
For mark on paper seen through slab
MSR=7.12 cm,VC=41
For powder particle on the top surface of the glass slab
MSR =4.05 cm,VC=1
(MSR = Main Scale Reading, VC = Vernier Coincidence)
Refractive index of the glass slab is :
