Refractive indices of water, sulphuric acid, glass and carbon disulphide are 1.33, 1.43, 1.53 and 1.63 respectively. the light travels slowest in:
(a) sulphuric acid
(b) glass
(c) water
(d) carbon disulphide
उत्तर
carbon disulphide
Explanation:
Refractive index = `"speed of light in air"/"speed of light in medium "`
Speed of light in the medium is slowest; therefore refractive index will be maximum as the speed of light in air is constant. Thus, light will travel slowest in the substance with refractive index 1.63.
