Time taken by sunlight to pass through a window of thickness 8 mm and refractive index (3/2) is: |
$4×10^{11}s$ $4×10^{-11}s$ $4×10^{-13}s$ $4×10^{13}s$ |
$4×10^{-11}s$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $4×10^{-11}s$ The time taken by sunlight to pass through the window is - $t=\frac{d}{v}$ $d = 8mm$ = Thickness of window $v$ = speed of light Also, speed of light in medium, $v=\frac{c}{μ}=\frac{3×10^8}{(3/2)}=2×10^8m/s$ $t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{8×10^{-3}}{2×10^8}=4×10^{-11}s$ |
