In vacuum. The speed of light

A

depends on its wavelength

B

depend on its frequency

C

depend on its intensity

D

d neither depend on its wavelength, frequency nor
intensity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In vacuum, the speed of light neither depend on its
wavelength, frequency nor intensity. In vacuum, speed of light is constant i.e., `3xx10^(8)m//s.`

Assertion (A): Sunlight reaches us without dispersion in the form of white light and not as its components. Reason (R): Dispersion takes place due to variation of refractive index for different wavelength but in vacuum the speed of light is independent of wavelength and hence vacuum is a non dispersive medium.

The absolute refractive indices of glass and water are (3)/(2) and (4)/(3) respectively. If the speed of light is 2xx10^(8) m//s , calculate the speed of light in (i) vacuum, (ii) water.

If mu_o represents the magnetic permeability constant in free space and Sigma_o is the permitivity in vacuum, and C the speed of light in vacuum , then

For a given medium , the speed of light and the polarising angle are V and i_p respectively. Then from Brewster's law [C is the speed of light in vacuum ]

n=(v)/(c) where n denotes the refractive index of a medium, v the speed of light in the medium and c the speed of light in vacuum.
