When the same monochromatic ray of light travels through glass slab and through water, the number of waves in glass slab of thickness 6 cm is same as in water column of height 7 cm. If refractive index of glass is 1.5 then refractive index of water is

  1. A 1.258
  2. B 1.269
  3. C 1.286
  4. D 1.31
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1.286

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

No. of waves in glass slab = No. of waves in water column
   μg.hg=μw . hw
   μw=μg . hghw=1.5×67
    μw=97=1.286
