Question

I) In which of the above material medium, the speed of light is maximum?
ii)In which of the above material medium the speed of light is minimum?
iii) Arrange the material media in ascending order according to the speed of light in that medium​

Answer 1

Answer:

As we know the refractive index is inversely proportional to speed of light in a medium therefore

(i) Ice has maximum speed of light

(ii)diamond has minimum speed of light

(iii)Ice..water..kerosne..glass..medium having 1.54 refractive index and finally diamond

please mark it as brainliest

Answer 2

The speed of light will be the minimum in the diamond.

• The refractive index of a medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in that medium.
• So, the lesser the speed of light in a medium, the more will be its refractive index.
• Among the given substances, the refractive index of diamond is maximum, hence the speed of light is minimum in it.
• Arranging the materials in ascending order of the speed of light in them: DIamond<Glass<Kerosene<Water<Ice.
