What will be the refractive index of a transparent medium if the speed of light in the transparent medium is found to be `2.4 xx 10^(8) m//s `?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Data `: c = 3 xx 10^(8) m//s, v = 2.4 xx 10^(8) m//s , n = ?`
`n = ( c )/( v ) = ( 3 xx 10^(8) m//s )/( 2.4 xx 10^(8) m//s )`
`= (3)/( 2.4) = ( 30)/( 24) = ( 5)/( 4) = 1.25`
The absolute refractive index of the medium `= 1.25 `
