Higher Order Thinking Skill.
What do you conclude about the speed of light in diamond. if the refractive index of diamond is 2.41?
उत्तर
µ = 2.41; Ca = 3 × 108ms [Velocity of light]
µ = `"Speed of light in air"/"Speed of light in diamond "=" C"_"a"/"C"_d"`
Cd =`"C"_"a"/"µ"= (3 xx 10^8)/2.41 `= 1. 245 × 108 m/s
∴ Speed of light decreases when the light ray travels from air to diamond.
