    The refractive index of water is 1.33. The speed of light in water is:                                       [BHU PMT-2002]

    A)                  \[12.981\times {{10}^{2}}\,\,{{m}^{2}}\]                              

    B)                  \[9.281\times {{10}^{9}}\,\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)                  \[1.69\times {{10}^{12}}\,\,{{m}^{2}}\]                

    D)                  \[4.529\times {{10}^{9}}\,\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Key Idea: Water is a denser medium compared to air.                 From Huygens wave theory, we have                 \[\left( E \right)\]                 Given, \[\left( v \right)\]                 \[\left( F \right)\]             \[F{{v}^{-2}}\]                 Note: The speed of light in water is less than the speed in air. This result obtained by wave theory was found correct by Foucault?s experiment.
