The time taken by the sunlight to reach the bottom of a tank of depth 4.5m filled completely with water is ....... ns. The refractive index of water is `4/3`

A

2

B

1.5

C

20

D

200

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

`n=c/v=c/d=(ct)/(d)`
`therefore t =(nd)/(c)`
`=4/3xx(4.5)/(3xx10^8)=(18)/(9)xx10^(-8)=2xx10^(-8)` second
`therefore t=20xx10^(-9)` second = 20 ms
