Question:

The time taken by light to travel normally through a glass plate of thickness 1 mm would be:  (Take refractive index of glass = 1.5)

Options:

0.1 × 10-13 s

12 × 10-5 s

5 × 10-12 s

1.5 × 10-5 s

Correct Answer:

5 × 10-12 s

Explanation:

$ V = \frac{c}{\mu} = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1.5} = 2\times 10^8$

$ t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{10^{-3}}{2\times 10^8} = 5\times 10^{-12} s$
