Answer:
The speed of light in air is m/s. In the medium X its speed is m/s and in
medium Y the speed of light is m/s. Calculate refractive index of medium Y
with respect to medium X. ?
Explanation:
The speed of light in air is m/s. In the medium X its speed is m/s and in
medium Y the speed of light is m/s. Calculate refractive index of medium Y
with respect to medium X.
Given:
Speed of light in air = 3.0 x 108m/s
Speed of light in medium X = 2.0 x 108m/s
Speed of light in medium Y = 2.50 x 108m/s
(a) airnx = ?
airnx = speed of light in air/speed of light in medium x
airnx = 3.0 x 108 m/s/2.0 x 108m/s
= 1.5
(b) airny = ?
airny = speed of light in air/speed of light in medium y
airny = 3.0 x 108m/s/2.50 x 108m/s
= 1.2
(c) xny=?
xny = speed of light in medium x/speed of light in medium y
xny = 2.0 x 108m/s/2.50 x 108m/s
= 0.8
