    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.
