  • question_answer
    The time taken by the light to cross a glass of thickness \[4\,\,mm\] and refractive index\[\mu =3\], is

    A) \[4\times {{10}^{-11}}\sec \]                      

    B) \[8\times {{10}^{-10}}\sec \]

    C) \[2\times {{10}^{-11}}\sec \]                      

    D) \[1\times {{10}^{-11}}\sec \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Thickness of glass\[s=4\,\,mm\]                                       \[=4\times {{10}^{-3}}m\] Refractive index\[\mu =3\] The velocity of light in medium is \[{{v}_{m}}=\frac{velocity\,\,of\,\,length\,\,in\,\,vaccum}{refractive\,\,index}\]      \[=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{3}={{10}^{8}}\,\,m/s\] Time taken to cross the glass \[\frac{s}{{{v}_{m}}}=\frac{4\times {{10}^{-3}}}{{{10}^{8}}}=4\times {{10}^{-11}}\sec \]
