You can identify whether a medium has higher or lower refractive index through the three ways. The first step is to observe the direction of bending. In this case, if the light is bending towards the normal, the second medium has higher refractive index. If the light bends away from normal, first medium has higher index of refraction. 

In the second method, you can use Snell's law. If the second angle is smaller than the first one, second medium has higher refractive index. In case the first angle is smaller than second one, first medium has higher index of refraction. The third method is critical angle method where, if the light u

When these two media are compared, then, it is evident that rarer medium has lower refracted index as compared to denser medium. Denser media like glass and water have higher refractive index whereas rarer medium like air and vacuum have lower refractive index. Due to this, the light will bend towards the normal when it travels from rarer to denser medium. On the other hand, light will bend away from normal when it travels from denser to a rarer medium.

Whenever a light ray travels from a rarer medium to a denser medium through a spherical surface, relationship between object distance (u), image distance (v), radius of curvature (R) and refractive index ( n 1 and n 2 ) is given by refraction formula for spherical surfaces as follows.

n 2 v - n 1 u = n 2 - n 1 R

 

  • n 1 is the refractive index of medium that contains the object (on the left side)
  • n 2 is refractive index of medium that will contain the image (on the right side)

This is because the terms used in rotational motion are analogous to the terms used in linear motion and can interchange each other with variation in the topic since their meaning is exactly the same. For example, what you call force in linear motion can be called torque in terms of rotational motion. Just replace the linear terms with angular terms and you are done with the major process.

This is because using radians will simplify the procedure of solving various numerical problems and complex mathematical equations. They help consider the terms such as arc length, centre, radius etc. directly into account which are connected to a circular path which eases our task of computing the formulas.

This is the type of acceleration due to which a circular moment of the object is possible. This force constantly directs the motion of the body towards the centre of gravitation. Without this motion, the object will move away in a straight line. It ensures that the object stays in a circular path by changing the direction of object's velocity towards the centre.
