The refractive indes of crown glass is close to 3 / 2 . If the speed of light in air is c , then the speed of light in the crown glass will be close to
Options
- A(3 / 2) c
- B(4 / 9) c
- C(2 / 3) c
- D(9 / 4) c
Correct answer
C. (2 / 3) c
Step-by-step solution
The relationship between refractive index and speed of light in the medium is, n = Speed of light in vacuum/speed of light in medium n = c / v 3 / 2=3 10^8 / speed of light in medium Speed of light = (3 10^8 ) /(3 / 2) Where, n is the refractive index, =(2 / 3) C
