Answer #1

The refractive index is a purity paramenter of any liquide and is characteristic feature of it just ike melting point.

Presence of any impurity changes the refractive index.

So if the sample of tert-butyl chloride is contaminated with water, its refractive index will change.

If we know the exact amount of water then we have formula to evaluate the new refractive index.

The refractive index of t-butyl chloride is 1.385

So it will decrease on addition / or due to presence of water.

What would cause a refractive index of a synthesized sample to be different than it's known value from the CRC Handbook, etc. I synthesized cyclohexanone from cyclohexanol with bleach and acetic acid through simple distillation and separation, finally aspiration. CRC Handbook says the refractive index of cyclohexanone is 1.450 Our sample, looks very exact in regards to IR spectrum, had a RI of 1.3551 What are some possibilities? Thanks!

Due to an unwanted oil spill, a thin film of oil of refractive index 1.40 floats on water (refractive index 1.33). When sunlight is incident at right angles to this film, the only colors that are absent from the reflected light are blue (458nm) and red (687nm). (a) Draw a diagram showing the reflected rays for either blue or red. (b)Estimate the thickness of the oil film. (c)If the only colors enhanced by reflection were blue and red, what would...

A flat thin film of material of defined refractive index and thickness (n= 1.2, t = 800 nm) lies on top of a liquid (n=2.3) and is probed by an EM wave in the liquid. The other side of the film is exposed to air. What would be the minimum angle of incidence, in radians, that the incoming wave would need to have in order to enter the film but not pass through it?
