Since the number of waves formed in glass slab of thickness 6 cm is the same as the number of waves formed in water column of height 7 cm

\\\frac{\lambda _{glass}}{6}=\frac{\lambda _{water}}{7}\\ \frac{v_{glass}}{6f}=\frac{v_{water}}{7f}\\ \frac{v_{glass}}{6c}=\frac{v_{water}}{7c}\\ \frac{\mu _{water}}{6}=\frac{\mu _{glass}}{7}\\ \mu _{water}=\mu _{glass}\times \frac{6}{7}\\ \mu _{water}=1.52\times \frac{6}{7}\\ \mu _{water}=1.3
