or is it possible to create a material with very high refractive index(order of 100's or more)
Yes, the refractive index of a substance can be increased by changing its temperature. When the temperature of a substance increases, its molecules vibrate more vigorously, causing a change in the density of the material. This change in density can alter the speed of light passing through the substance, thus changing its refractive index.
Yes, it is possible to increase the refractive index of a substance without changing its temperature. This can be achieved by applying an external force, such as pressure, to the substance. This causes the molecules to pack more closely together, resulting in a higher refractive index.
No, the refractive index of a substance cannot be increased indefinitely. All substances have a maximum refractive index that they can achieve, which is determined by their molecular structure. Once this limit is reached, further changes in temperature or pressure will not affect the refractive index.
The refractive index of a substance can be affected by several factors, including its chemical composition, temperature, pressure, and the wavelength of light passing through it. The molecular structure and density of the substance also play a role in determining its refractive index.
Yes, the refractive index of a substance can be decreased by changing its temperature or pressure. It can also be decreased by adding impurities to the substance, which alters its molecular structure and density. Additionally, the use of certain materials, such as anti-reflective coatings, can decrease the refractive index of a substance.
