10th Class Science Light - Reflection and Refraction Question Bank Light

  • question_answer
    A light wave has a frequency of \[\text{4}\times \text{1}{{0}^{\text{14}}}\text{ Hz}\]and wavelength of\[\text{5}\times \text{1}{{0}^{-\text{7}}}\text{ m}\]. The refractive index of the medium in which it is travelling is

    A)   1.20               

    B)         2.40

    C)  1.50                  

    D)         1.75

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Velocity of light, in the medium,                 \[{{C}_{m}}=v\lambda \]                      \[=(4\times {{10}^{14}})\times (5\times {{10}^{-7}})\]                      \[=2\times {{10}^{8}}m/\sec \]. Velocity of light in vacuum,\[{{C}_{v}}=3\times {{10}^{8}}m/\sec \] \[\therefore \]  \[\mu =\frac{{{C}_{v}}}{{{C}_{m}}}=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{2\times {{10}^{8}}}=\mathbf{1}\mathbf{.5}\]
