Let, refractive index of diamond with respect to air $=n_{D A}=$ absolute refractive index of diamond, refractive index of glass with respect to air $= n _{ GA }=$ absolute refractive index of glass, refractive index of diamond with respect to glass $= n _{ DG }$
Given,
$N _{ DG }=1.6$ and $n _{ GA }=1.5$
Now, $n _{ DG }=\frac{ n _{ DA }}{ n _{ GA }}$
$\Rightarrow n _{ DA }= n _{ DG } \times n _{ GA }$
$\Rightarrow n _{ DA }=1.6 \times 1.5=2.4$

A pencil when dipped in water in a glass tumbler appears to be bent at the interface of air and water. Will the pencil appear to be bent to the same extent, if instead of water we use liquids like, kerosene or turpentine. Support your answer with reason.
