1Would a liquid’s refractive index measured at a high altitudebe different from that measured at sea level? Explain IK theanswear is yes i just do not know why?

2. A student obtains a refractive index reading of 1.4684 at200C. Calculate the refractive index at 25oC and18oC. Show all yourwork to get a full credit. RI(25)=1.4684-(0.0004*5)=1.4664RI(18)=1.4684+(0.0004*2)=1.4692 This is what i got i just dont knowif its right or not.
