To find the time taken by light to travel through a glass slab of thickness \( x \) and having a refractive index \( \mu \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Refractive Index**: The refractive index \( \mu \) of a medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum (or air) \( v \) to the speed of light in that medium \( v_1 \): \[ \mu = \frac{v}{v_1} ...
