The difference of speed of light in the two media A and B (vA vB) is 2.6 107 m/s. If the refractive index of medium B is 1.47, then the ratio of refractive index of medium B to medium A is : (Given : speed of light in vacuum c = 3 108 ms 1)
- A1.303
- B1.318
- C1.13
- D0.12

Correct answer: C
- Use the relation between speed and refractive index
For any medium,
So,
Given:
- Find the speed in medium B
- Find the speed in medium A
Since we get
- Find refractive index of medium A
- Find the required ratio
We need:
- Match with options
The correct option is:
