A monochromatic ray of light travels through glass slab and water column. The number of waves in glass slab of thickness 4 ~cm is same as in water column of height 5 ~cm . If refractive index of glass is 5 3 then refractive index of water is
Options
- A4 3
- B5 4
- C6 5
- D3 2
Correct answer
A. 4 3
Step-by-step solution
Given thickness of glass slab =4 ~cm and height of water column =5 ~cm and refractive index of glass _g= 5 3 As number of waves is equal in both the glass and water medium, then according to their height and thickness, we can write aligned & _w _g = v_g v_w = thickness of glass time height of water column time & _w _g = 4 5 & _w= 4 5 ( 5 3 )= 4 3 aligned
