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 1

The Correct Option is B

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