ISO 21395-2 pdf download Optics and photonics — Test method for refractive index of optical glasses — Part 2: V-block refractometer method
1 Scope
This document specifies a method to determine the refractive index of optical glass with the accuracywithin 3 × 10-5 at the wavelength range from 365 nm to 2 400 nm by using the V-block refractometermethod.
While this document can be used for non-glass materials, the user is informed that only optical glasshas been considered in the development of this document, and other materials can have issues, whichhave not been taken into consideration.

4Principles
As shown in Figure 1 a), when a beam aligned perpendicular to the entrance face transmits throughthe V-block prism, it is refracted at the interface between the V-block prism and the specimen and exitsfrom the exit face nominally parallel to the entrance face. T’he relationship among the deviation angleof the emergent beam to the incident beam, y, the relative refractive index of the V-block prism to themeasurement atmosphere,N, and the relative refractive index of the specimen to the measurementatmosphere,n, is expressed by the following Formula (1:
=arcsin V2xn一N一√3×N2-2xn2
1)
where
is the relative refractive index of the specimen to the measurement atmosphere;Nis the relative refractive index of the v-block prism to the measurement atmosphere;
is the deviation angle.
NOTE In general, the symbol of the refractive index is the lowercase n.However, this document intentionallyuses the capital letter N for the relative refractive index of the V-block prism to make it more distinct from that ofthe specimen.
The sign of the deviation angle of the emergent beam shall be positive (+) for upward deviation (that is,n >N) and negative (-) for downward deviation (n
