To solve the question regarding the ratio of the velocity of light in the first medium to that in the second medium, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Refractive Index**: The refractive index (n) of a medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum (c) to the speed of light in that medium (v). Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ n = \frac{c}{v} ...

A ray of light is incident on a medium with angle of incidence I and refracted into a second medium with angle of refraction r. The graph of sin(i) vs sin(R) is as shown in figure. Then the velocity of light in the first medium in n times the velocity of light in the second medium. What shoul be th evalue of n?

When light is incident on a medium at angle i and refracted into a second medium at an angle r, the graph of sin r versus sin i is as shown. From this one can conclude that (i) the velocity of light in second medium is sqrt3 times the velocity of light in the first medium (ii) the velocity of light in the first medium is sqrt3 times the velocity of ligth in second medium (iii) the critical angle of the two media is given by sin i_C=1sqrt3 (iv) the critical anlge of the two media is given by sin i_C=1sqrt2
