Light of wavelength 300 nm in medium A enters into medium B through a plane surface. If the frequency of light is 5×1014 Hz and the ratio of speed in medium A to that is medium B is 45, the absolute refractive index of medium B is,

  1. A 1.6
  2. B 1.5
  3. C 1.3
  4. D 1.45
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1.6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Absolute refractive index of medium A, μA=cνAλ=3×1085×1014×300×10-9=2 Refractive index is inversely proportional to the velocity of light. ⇒μBμA=vAvB=45 ⇒μB=μA45=85 ⇒μB=1.6
