Radio waves travel in air at 3.0 x 10
8ms
-1. If the waves enter water of refractive index \(\frac{4}{3}\), calculate the speed of radio waves in water
-
A.
4.33 x 108ms-1
-
B.
4.00 x 108ms-1
-
C.
2.25 x 108ms-1
-
D.
1.33 x 108ms-1
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
\(_an_w = \frac{4}{3} = \frac{\text{speed of light in air}}{\text{speed of light in water}}\)
\(\frac{4}{3} = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{x}\)
x = \(\frac{9 \times 10^4}{4}\)
= 2.25 x 108m/s
