A light of wavelength \({ }^{\prime} \lambda_{1}{ }^{\prime}\) and velocity \(\mathrm{C}_{1}\) travels from the first medium of refractive index ' \(\mu_{1}\) ' into the second medium of refractive index ' \(\mu_{2}\) '. The wavelength and velocity of light in the second medium is \(^{\prime} \lambda_{2}^{\prime}\) and \(\mathrm{C}_{2}\) respectively. The refractive index of second medium with respect to first medium is given by

  1. A \(\frac{c_{2}}{c_{1}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mu_{2}}{\mu_{1}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_{1}}{\mu_{2}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}}\)
Verified Solution
