    The critical angle of the medium with respect to vacuum is 30°. If the velocity of light in vacuum is \[3\times {{10}^{-8}}m{{s}^{-1}},\] the velocity of light in medium is

    A) \[2\times {{10}^{-8}}m{{s}^{-1}}\]                           

    B)  \[1.5\times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[3\times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}}\]                             

    D)  \[\sqrt{2}\times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Refractive index, \[\mu =\frac{1}{\sin C}\] \[\mu =\frac{c}{v}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{c}{v}=\frac{1}{\sin C}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{v}=\frac{1}{\sin {{30}^{o}}}\]
