Question:

The refractive index of water is 4/3. What will be the velocity of light in water in m/s?

Options:

1.25 x \( {10 }^{ 8} \)

1.25 x \( {10 }^{ 6} \)

2.25 x \( {10 }^{ 6} \)

2.25 x \( {10 }^{ 8} \)

Correct Answer:

2.25 x \( {10 }^{ 8} \)

Explanation:

Use : 

μ = c/v

v = c/μ

   =3.0 x \( {10 }^{ 8} \) m/s/ (4/3)

   =2.25 x \( {10 }^{ 8} \) m/s
