The refractive index, n of a polymer was determined as a function of temperature. The results are given in the table. Determine the glass transition temperature of the polymer. T/°C 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 n 1.5913 1.5898 1.5883 1.5868 1.5853 1.5838 1.5822 1.5801 1.5766 1.5725 1.5684 1.5643

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

The given data shows linear trend between refractive index and temperature .

From 20 degree to 80 degree , every increase of 10 degree decreases refractive index by .0015 . This trend breaks at 90 degree beyond which , refractive index falls at greater rate or sharply.

So transition temperature is 90 degree .
