The refractive index of water is 1.33. What will be the speed of light in water?

A

`3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)`

B

`2.26 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)`

C

`4 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)`

D

`1.33 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B

`As, mu=(c)/(v)rArrv=(c)/(mu)=(3xx10^(8))/(1.33)=2.26xx10^(8) ms^(-1)`
