Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In optics an object which has higher refractive index is called
A
Optically rarer
B
Optically denser
C
Optical density
D
Refractive index
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A medium having a larger value of refractive index is called optically denser, while the one having a smaller value is said to be optically rarer.

Detailed explanation-2: -diamond, has the highest refractive index among the following. 2) Relative refractive index, where the ratio is taken between the speed of light in two mediums other than vacuum.

Detailed explanation-3: -We can say that optical density is directly proportional to refractive index and inversely proportional to speed of light for that given medium.
