Time taken by sunlight to penetrate 2 mm in a glass slab is of the order of (n=1.5)

A

` 10^(-16)` sec

B

`10^(-19) ` sec

C

`10^(-11)` sec

D

`10^(-7)` sec

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`V_(g)=( 3 xx 10^(8))/(1.5) = 2xx 10^(8) m//s `
`:. t=("Distance ")/("Velocity")=(2 xx 10^(-3))/(2 xx 10^(8))=10^(-11)` sec
