JEE Main & Advanced Physics Ray Optics Question Bank Refraction of Light at Plane Surfaces

  • question_answer
    Refractive index of glass is \[\frac{3}{2}\] and refractive index of water is \[\frac{4}{3}\]. If the speed of light in glass is \[2.00\times {{10}^{8}}\] m/s, the speed in water will be                               [MP PMT 1994; RPMT 1997]

    A)            \[2.67\times {{10}^{8}}\] m/s                                           

    B)            \[2.25\times {{10}^{8}}\] m/s

    C)            \[1.78\times {{10}^{8}}\] m/s                                           

    D)            \[1.50\times {{10}^{8}}\] m/s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[\mu \propto \frac{1}{v}\Rightarrow \frac{{{\mu }_{g}}}{{{\mu }_{w}}}=\frac{{{v}_{w}}}{{{v}_{g}}}\Rightarrow \frac{3/2}{4/3}=\frac{{{v}_{w}}}{2\times {{10}^{8}}}\]            \[\Rightarrow {{v}_{w}}=2.25\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]
