$A$ parallel beam of light travels in a medium with a refractive index $\mu(I) = \mu_0 + \mu_2 I$,where $\mu_0$ and $\mu_2$ are positive constants and $I$ is the intensity. As the intensity of the light decreases,the radius of the beam increases. The speed of light in the medium is:

Difficult
View Solution

The difference of speed of light in the two media $A$ and $B$ $(v_{A}-v_{B})$ is $2.6 \times 10^{7} \, m/s$. If the refractive index of medium $B$ is $1.47$,then the ratio of refractive index of medium $B$ to medium $A$ is: (Given: speed of light in vacuum $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \, m/s$)

$A$ beam of monochromatic light is refracted from vacuum into a medium of refractive index $1.5$. The wavelength of refracted light will be

The speed of light is maximum in
