Let \({ }^{\prime} \mu_{1}{ }^{\prime}\) and \({ }^{\prime} \mu_{2}{ }^{\prime}\) be the refractive indices of two media. ' \(\mathrm{v}_{1}{ }^{\prime}\) and ' \(\mathrm{v}_{2}\) ' are the
velocities of light in the media respectively.
Which one of the following relations is TRUE?

  1. A \(\mu_{1} \mathrm{v}_{1}=\mu_{2} \mathrm{v}_{2}\)
  2. B \(\mu_{2} \mathrm{v}_{1}=\mu_{1} \mathrm{v}_{2}\)
  3. C \(\mu_{1} \mathrm{v}_{1}^{2}=\mu_{2} \mathrm{v}_{2}^{2}\)
  4. D \(\mu_{2}^{2} \mathrm{v}_{1}=\mu_{1}^{2} \mathrm{v}_{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mu_{1} \mathrm{v}_{1}=\mu_{2} \mathrm{v}_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mu_{1}=\frac{c}{v_{1}} \quad \mu_{2}=\frac{c}{v_{2}}\)
\(\therefore \quad \mu_{1} v_{1}=\mu_{2} v_{2}\)
