Frequency and wavelength of light in tra...

Frequency and wavelength of light in transparent material are `2xx10^(14)` Hz and 5000 Å respectively, then its refractive index is

A

`1.50`

B

`3.00`

C

1.33

D

`1.40`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

By using v=f`lambda`
`v=2xx10^(14)xx5000xx10^(-10)` m
`=10^8 ms^(-1)`
`lambda=5000` Å
`=5000xx10^(-10)` m
Refractive index `mu=c/v=(3xx10^8)/(10^8)`
`therefore mu=3`
