Question :--- Light enters from air to glass having refractive index 1.5. what is the speed of the light in the glass? (speed of light in vacuum is 3 x 10^8 ms- ¹)
Solution :---
Given :-
- Speed of light in vaccum ( or air) = v1 = 3 x 10^8 ms- ¹
- Now, we also know, refrective index of air = R1 = 1
- Refractive index of glass is given, R2=1.5
Formula used :--
- (R2/R1) = (V1/V2)
Putting values now , we get,
→ (1.5/1) = (3 × 10^8)/V2
→ 1.5 * (V2) = (3 * 10^8)
Dividing both sides by 1.5 now,
→ V2 = 2 * 10^8 ms- ¹
Hence, Speed of light in glass is 2 * 10^8 ms- ¹ .
