- 1.256
- 1.822
- 1.333
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The refractive index of water at room temperature (25°C) is a standard value of 1.333. This value indicates the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in water. It is a fundamental property used in optical experiments and calculations.
