MHT CET2017PhysicsRay Optics
When the same monochromatic ray of light travels through glass slab and through water, the number of waves in glass slab of thickness 6 cm is same as in water column of height 7 cm. If refractive index of glass is 1.5 then refractive index of water is
Options
- A1.258
- B1.269
- C1.286
- D1.310
Correct answer
C. 1.286
Step-by-step solution
No. of waves in glass slab = No. of waves in water column ∴ μ g . h g = μ w . h w ∴ μ w = μ g . h g h w = 1.5 × 6 7 ∴ μ w = 9 7 = 1.286
