Find the refractive index of a medium having a velocity of 1.5 x 10^8.(a) 0.5(b) 5(c) 0.2(d) 2I have been asked this question in an online interview.This is a very interesting question from Refractive Index and Numerical Aperture in division EM Wave Propagation of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer»

Correct option is (d) 2

Easiest EXPLANATION: The refractive INDEX is given by the ratio of the speed of light to the VELOCITY in a PARTICULAR medium. It is given by n = c/v. On substituting for v = 1.5 x 10^8 and c = 3 x 10^8, we get n = 3/1.5 = 2. The quantity has no unit.
