For the same angle of incidence, the angle of refraction in two media A and B are `25^(@) and 35^(@)` respectively. In which medium is the speed of light less?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`"We know", mu = (sini)/(sinr) = (c)/(v)`
`therefore " " v_(A) = (c)/(sini) sin25^(@) and v_(B) = (c)/(sini) sin35^(@)`
`therefore " " v_(A) = (c)/(sini) sin25^(@) and v_(B) = (c)/(sini) sin35^(@)`
