    The wavelength of red light from He-Ne laser is 633 nm in air but 474 nm in the aqueous humor inside the eye ball. Then the speed of red light through the aqueous humor is

    A)  \[3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]     

    B)         \[1.34\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]

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

    D)         \[2.5\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]

    E)  \[2.75\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\frac{Speed\text{ }of\text{ }light\text{ }in\text{ }air}{Speed\text{ }of\text{ }light\text{ }in\text{ }aqueous\text{ }humor}\] \[=\frac{Wavelength\text{ }of\text{ }light\text{ }in\text{ }air}{Wavelength\text{ }of\text{ }light\text{ }in\text{ }aqueous\text{ }humor}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}\] Or           \[{{v}_{2}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{2}}}{{{\lambda }_{1}}}\times {{v}_{1}}=\frac{474}{633}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}\]                 \[=2.25\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]
