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