Refractive index of a medium is `mu`. Its thickness is t. Velocity of light in vacuum is e. In what time does light travel through the medium? 

A

`c//mu t`

B

`mu//c t`

C

`mt// c`

D

`c t//mu`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`""_(a)mu_(m) = (v_(a))/(v_(m)) rArr mu = (c)/(v_(m)) " "therefore` Velocity of light in medium `v_(m) = (c )/(mu)`
Thickness = Distance = t `therefore` Time `= ("Distance")/("Velocity") = (t)/(c//mu) = (mu t)/(c) therefore` Time = `(mu t)/(c)`
