When light is incident on a medium at angle i and refracted into a second medium at an angle r, the graph of `sin r` versus `sin i` is as shown. From this one can conclude that

(i) the velocity of light in second medium is `sqrt3` times the velocity of light in the first medium
(ii) the velocity of light in the first medium is `sqrt3` times the velocity of ligth in second medium
(iii) the critical angle of the two media is given by `sin i_C=1sqrt3`
(iv) the critical anlge of the two media is given by `sin i_C=1sqrt2`

When light is refracted into a medium

A ray of light is incident on a medium with angle of incidence I and refracted into a second medium with angle of refraction r. The graph of sin(i) vs sin(R) is as shown in figure. Then the velocity of light in the first medium in n times the velocity of light in the second medium. What shoul be th evalue of n?

If the refractive index of a medium is 1.7, the velocity of light in that medium is

If c is velocity of light in vacuum and v is the velocity of light in a medium of refractive index mu , then

The velocity of light in vacuum is 3 xx 10^8 m//s . Therefore the velocity of light in m/s in a medium of R.I. 1.25 is

The critical angle of a prism is 30^(@) . The velocity of light in the medium is

When light is incident on a medium of refractive index mu from rarer medium at an angle 'i' and is refracted at an angle 'r', then Snell's law gives
