The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the ratio of velocities of light rays of frequencies \(5 \times 10^{12} \, \text{Hz}\) and \(25 \times 10^{12} \, \text{Hz}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Frequencies**: - Let \( \nu_1 = 5 \times 10^{12} \, \text{Hz} \) - Let \( \nu_2 = 25 \times 10^{12} \, \text{Hz} \) 2. **Understand the Speed of Light**: - The speed of light in vacuum, denoted as \( C \), is approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). - It is important to note that the speed of light is constant and does not depend on the frequency or wavelength of the light. 3. **Determine the Velocities**: - Since the speed of light is constant, we can denote the velocities of the light rays corresponding to the two frequencies: - \( v_1 = C \) for frequency \( \nu_1 \) - \( v_2 = C \) for frequency \( \nu_2 \) 4. **Calculate the Ratio of Velocities**: - The ratio of the velocities \( \frac{v_1}{v_2} \) can be calculated as follows: \[ \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{C}{C} = 1 \] 5. **Final Result**: - Therefore, the ratio of the velocities of light rays of the given frequencies is: \[ \text{Ratio} = 1 : 1 \]
