Problem

A student plots a graph with sin⁡i\sin i (for the incident ray in air) along the vertical axis and sin⁡r\sin r (for the refracted ray in a liquid) along the horizontal axis. The straight-line graph obtained has a slope of 1.331.33. What is the refractive index of the liquid relative to air?
