A monochromatic beam of light is travelling from medium A of refractive index n₁ to a medium B of refractive index n ₂ . In the medium A , there are x number of waves in certain distance. In the medium B, there are y number of waves in the same distance. Then, refractive index of medium A with respect to medium B is
Options
- Ax y
- By x
- Cx y
- Dx y-x
Correct answer
A. x y
Step-by-step solution
If x number of waves of wavelength ₁ and y number of waves of wavelength ₂ are present in same distance s, then array ll & s = x ₁= y ₂ or x y = ₂ ₁ = n ₁ n ₂ & n ₁ n ₂ = x y array
