Time taken by light to travel in two different materials AA and BB of refractive indices μA{\mu}_{A} and μB{\mu}_{B} of same thickness is t1{t}_{1} and t2{t}_{2} respectively. If t2−t1=5×10−10s{t}_{2} - {t}_{1} = 5 \times {10}^{- 10}s and the ratio of μA{\mu}_{A} to μB{\mu}_{B} is 1:21: 2. Then the thickness of material, in meter is: (Given vA{v}_{A} and vB{v}_{B} are velocities of light in AA and BB materials respectively).

Options

  1. A5×10−10vAm5 \times {10}^{- 10}{v}_{A}m
  2. B5×10−10m5 \times {10}^{- 10}m
  3. C1.5×1010m1 . 5 \times {10}^{10}m
  4. D5×10−10vBm5 \times {10}^{- 10}{v}_{B}m

Correct answer

A. 5×10−10vAm5 \times {10}^{- 10}{v}_{A}m

Step-by-step solution

The speed of light in a medium is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the material. Therefore,

μAμB=vBvA=12\dfrac{{\mu}_{A}}{{\mu}_{B}} = \dfrac{{v}_{B}}{{v}_{A}} = \dfrac{1}{2}

Let the thickness is dd

⇒t2−t1=dvB−dvA=5×10−10s⇒ {t}_{2} - {t}_{1} = \dfrac{d}{{v}_{B}} - \dfrac{d}{{v}_{A}} = 5 \times {10}^{- 10}s

As vA=2vB⇒d=5×10−10×2vB{v}_{A} = 2{v}_{B} ⇒ d = 5 \times {10}^{- 10} \times 2{v}_{B}

⇒d=5×10−10×vAm⇒ d = 5 \times {10}^{- 10} \times {v}_{A}m.
