    The time taken by light to pass through 4 mm thick glass slab of refractive index 1.5 will be: (velocity of light in air\[=3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\])

    A)  \[8\times {{10}^{-11}}s\]                            

    B) \[2\times {{10}^{-11}}s\]

    C)  \[8\times {{10}^{-8}}s\]                               

    D) \[2\times {{10}^{-8}}s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                      From Hugen's principle of wave theory, we have \[_{1}{{n}_{2}}=\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{speed\text{ }of\text{ }light\text{ }in\text{ }first\text{ }medium}{speed\text{ }of\text{ }light\text{ }in\text{ }second\text{ }medium}\] Given, \[{{n}_{2}}=1.5,v=3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{v}_{2}}=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{1.5}m/s\] \[Also\text{ }time=\frac{dis\tan ce}{speed}=\frac{4\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 1.5}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}\] \[T=2\times {{10}^{-11}}s\] Alternative: Time taken to cross the glass slab \[T=\frac{nd}{c}=\frac{1.5\times 4\times {{10}^{-3}}}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}\]                 \[=2\times {{10}^{-11}}s\]
