Question

Refractive index of a medium X with respect to Y is 2 where as refractive index of medium Y to the air is 1.5.In which medium the speed of light will be faster X or Y.
FIND (1) ABSOLUTE REFRACTIVE INDEX OF MEDIUM X (2)REFRACTIVE INDEX OF MEDIUM Y WITH RESPECT TO MEDIUM X.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Velocity in first (v1)= 3*10^8 m/s.

Velocity in second medium (v2)= 1.2 *10^8 m/s.

Refractive index-- 1n2

Refractive index-- 2n1
