Will light travel through a glass slab with the same velocity as it travels in air ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Refractive index depends on the velocity of light.
(ii) As refractive index increases, velocity of light decreases.
(iii) Since refractive index of glass is greater than air, the velocity of light in glass is lesser than that in air.
