Refractive index of a glass slab using a travelling microscope?

To find the refractive index of a glass slab using a travelling microscope, you would first place the glass slab on a flat surface. Using the travelling microscope, measure the apparent shift in the position of the object when viewed through the glass slab. By knowing the thickness of the glass slab and the shift in the position, you can calculate the refractive index using the formula: Refractive index (n) = (apparent shift + 1) / actual shift.
