A coin is at rest at bottom of a tank filled with liquid. A ray of light coming towards surface will move on the surface after incident on it, then what is the speed of light in liquid ?

Answer»

`2.4xx10^8 ms^(-1)`
`3.0xx10^8 ms^(-1)`
`1.2xx10^8ms^(-1)`
`1.8xx10^8ms^(-1)`

Solution :
Length of hypotenuse of RIGHT ANGLE `triangle`1ABC is 5.
`therefore (1)/(mu)=(sini)/(SIN 90^@)` …...
(`because` Refractive index of LIQUID =`mu`, refractive index of air =1)
`therefore mu =(1)/(sini)=5/3`
Now speed `v=(c)/(mu)=(3xx10^8)/(5/3)=1.8xx10^8` m`//`s
