Light enters from air into a glass plate having refractive index 1.5. What is the speed of light in glass ? (c = 3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1) ) |
Answer» SOLUTION :Given : Refractive index `(mu) = 1.5` Speed of LIGHT in vacuum (c ) `= 2 XX 10^(8) ms^(-1)` Speed of light in glass `(upsilon) = ?` Solution : `mu= ( "Speed of light in vacuum(c )")/("Speed of light in glass" (upsilon) )` `1.5 = (2 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1) )/(upsilon) rArr upsilon = (2 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1) ) /(1.5 ) = 1.3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)` `therefore` Speed of light in glass `= 1.3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)` |
