Light passess through glass of refractive index 1.5 . What is the time required for light to travel ` 4 xx 10^(8)` m in glass ?

A

3s

B

2s

C

1s

D

`0.5s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`V_(g)=(3 xx 10^(8))/( 1.5)= 2 xx 10^(8) m//s `
`:. t=("distance")/("velocity")=(4 xx 10^(8))/(2 xx 10^(8))=2s `
