The refractive index of water is 1.33. What will be the speed of light in water

A

`1.33 xx 10^(8) m//s`

B

`2.25 xx 10^(8) m//s`

C

`3 xx 10^(8) m//s`

D

`4 xx 10^(8) m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`v_(w) = (v_(a))/(mu_(w)) = (3 xx 10^(8))/(1.33) = 2.25 xx 10^(8) m//s`
