If the speed of light in medium-1 and medium-2 is 2.5*10⁸ m/s and 2*10⁸ respectively. Then the refractive index of medium 1 with respect to medium 2 is what
Pls guys tell fast I have exam in an hour
Answers
Answer:
Refractive index of medium 1 with respect to medium 2
= speed in medium 2 / speed in medium 1
Refractive index = 4/5 = 0.8
Hope it helps
Pls mark as the brainliest!!
answer : refractive index of medium-1 with respect to medium - 2 is 4/5
given, speed of light in medium - 1 , v₁ = 2.5 × 10^8 m)/s
so, refractive index of medium - 1, μ₁ = 3 × 10^8/2.5 × 10^8 = 1.2
speed of light in medium - 2 , v₂ = 2 × 10^8 m/s
so, refractive index of medium-2, μ₂ = 3 × 10^8/2 × 10^8 = 1.5
refractive index of medium - 1 with respect to medium - 2, ¹μ₂ = μ₁/μ₂
= 1.2/1.5 = 4/5
