Abstract

Any physical parameter should find applications in our day-today life. This paper deals with the educational science in daily life for school students. In this paper, it has been shown that that how the refractive index can be used as a tool for finding the adultration of oils. Further more the refractive index of fifteen oils has been determined and presented here.
