The ratio of velocities of light in glass to that in water is (refractive index of glass = 1.5 and refactive index of water = 1.33)

A

0.6803 : 1

B

0.4989 : 1

C

0.8867 : 1

D

0.2505 : 1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(v_(g))/(v_(w)) = ? mu_(g) = 1.5, mu_(w) = 1.33`
`(v_(g))/(v_(w)) = (mu_(w))/(mu_(g)) = (1.33)/(1.5) = 0.8867`
