The refractive index of the mixture varies linearly with the volumes of the two liquids. The refractive index of powdered glass, nj, poured into the mixture can be found by adjusting the liquid mixture until the powdered glass cannot be observed in the liquid. (i) Obtain an expression for ng in terms of re, Va, no and Vi.
