Question

. Refractive indices of media A, B, C and D are given below : 2

Medium Refractive Index

A 1.33

B 1.44

C 1.52

D 1.65

In which of these four is the speed of light maximum ? Support your answer with reason. Find the refractive index of medium D with respect to medium A.

Answer 1

itmThe speed of light will be maximum in 1.33.Because as the refractive index is low ,the ray of light will bend least and the speed will be maximum.
