The velocities of light in ice and diamond are `2.3 xx 10^(8)m//s` and `1.25 xx 10^(8) m//s` respectively. The R.I. of diamond with respect to ice is

A

`1.84`

B

2.84

C

`0.84`

D

1.24

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`._(i)mu_(d) = (v_(i))/(v_(d)) = (2.3 xx 10^(8))/(1.25 xx 10^(8)) = 1.84`
