the speed of light in vacuum is 3.0 x 10
8ms
-1. If the refractive index of a transparent liquid is \(\frac{4}{3}\), then the speed of light in the liquid is
-
A.
0.44 x 10 8ms-1
-
B.
2.25 x 10 8ms-1
-
C.
3.0 x 10 8ms-1
-
D.
4.0 x 10 8ms-1
-
E.
4.33 x 10 8ms-1
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
n = \(\frac{\text{speed in air }}{\text{speed in water }}\)
\(\frac{4}{3}\) = \(\frac{3 \times 10^8}{v}\)
v = 2.25 x 10 8ms-1
