For the same angle of incidence the angle of refraction in the three different media A, B and C 15,25 and 35 respectively. In which medium the velocity of light is minimum?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For same angles of incidence, angles of refraction are `r_(A) = 15^(@), r_(B) = 25^(@), r_( C) = 35^(@)`
Hence, velocity of light is minimum for `r_(A) = 15^(@)`
