If c is the velocity of light in free space, then the time taken by light to travel a distance x in a medium refractive index `mu` is

A

`(x)/(2)`

B

`(mux)//(c )`

C

`(x)//(muc)`

D

`(c )//(mux)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Velocity of light in a medium, `v=(c )/(mu)`
We know that the time taken, `t=(x)/(v) Rightarrow t=(x)/(c//u) Rightarrow t=(mux)/(c )`
