Light travels through a glass plate of thickness t and having refractive index n . If c is the velocity of light in vacuum, the time taken by the light to travel this thickness of glass is

A

`(t)/(nc)`

B

`tnc`

C

`(nt)/(c)`

D

`(tc)/(n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Speed of light in medium `v=c//n`
Time to travel a distance, `t_0=t/v=(t)/(c//n)=(nt)/(c)`
