The speed of light in transparent medium is 2.4 x 10⁸ m/s. Calculate absoluterefractive index of the medium. |

Answer» ANSWER:The REFRACTION index, n, of a TRANSPARENT medium is defined as the ratio of speed of light in VACUUM to the speed of light in that medium. The FORMULA is n= v c . where the speed of light c=3×10 8 m/s and v is the speed of light in the desired medium which is given as v=2.4×10 8 m/s. Therefore, n= 2.4×10 8 m/s 3×10 8 m/s =1.25. Hence, the refractive index of the transparent medium is 1.25 Explanation: |
