A light ray of 5895 `overset(@)(A)` wavelength travelling in vacuum enters a medium of refractive index 1.5. The speed of light in the medium is :

A

`3 times 10^(8)m//s`

B

`2 times 10^(8)m//s`

C

`1.5 times 10^(8)m//s`

D

`6 times 10^(8)m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Speed of light is given by
`" "v=c/n=(3 times 10^(8))/(1.5)=2 times 10^(8)m//s`
