Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
Refractive index
= \(\frac{Sin i}{Sin r}\) = \(\frac{\text{Vel. of light in air}}{\text{vel. of light in glass}}\)

= \(\frac{Sin i}{Sin 30^o}\)= \(\frac{3.0 \times 10^8}{2.0 \times 10^8}\)

= Sin i = \(\frac{(3.0 \times 10^8 \times Sin 30^o)}{2.0 \times 10^8}\)

= Sin i = \(\frac{(3.0 \times 10^8 \times 0.5)}{2.0 \times 10^8}\)

= \(\frac{1.5}{2}\)

= 0.75
