प्रश्न
Light enters from air to glass having refractive index 1.50. What is the speed of light in the glass? The speed of light in vacuum is 3 × 108 m s−1.
उत्तर
Refractive index of a medium nm is given by,
`n_m="Speed of light in vacuum"/"Speed of light in the medium" = c/v`
Speed of light in vacuum, c = 3 × 108 m s−1
Refractive index of glass, ng = 1.50
Speed of light in the glass,
`v = c/n_g`
`= (3 xx 10^8)/1.50`
`= 2 xx 10^8ms^(-1)`

Noor, a young student, was trying to demonstrate some properties of light in her Science project work. She kept ‘X’ inside the box (as shown in the figure) and with the help of a laser pointer made light rays pass through the holes on one side of the box. She had a small butter-paper screen to see the spots of light being cast as they emerged.
Her friend noted the following observations from this demonstration:
- Glass is optically rarer than air.
- Air and glass allow light to pass through them with the same velocity.
- Air is optically rarer than glass.
- Speed of light through a denser medium is faster than that of a rarer medium.
- The ratio: sin of angle of incidence in the first medium to the ratio of sin of angle of refraction in the second medium, gives the refractive index of the second material with respect to the first one.
