If speed of light in air is 3xx10^(8) m/...

If speed of light in air is `3xx10^(8) m//s,` the speed of light in
glass (with refractive index 1.5) would be

A

a `2xx10^(8) m//s`

B

b `4.5xx10^(8) m//s`

C

c `3xx10^(8) m//s`

D

d `1.5xx10^(8) m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Given that
`C=3xx10^(8)m//s, H=1.5`
then `V= C/H = (3xx10^(8))/1.5=2xx10^(8) m//s`
