Question

If v1and v2 are the speeds of light in the two media of refractive indices n1 and n2 respectively, then

A

$\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

B

$\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{n_2}{n_1}$

C

$\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\sqrt{\frac{n_1}{n_2}}$

D

$\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\sqrt{\frac{n_2}{n_1}}$

Answer

$\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{n_2}{n_1}$

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is (B): $\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{n_2}{n_1}$
