The refractive index of glass is $3/2$ and the refractive index of water is $4/3$. If the speed of light in glass is $2.00 \times 10^8 \ m/s$,the speed of light in water will be:

  • A
    $2.67 \times 10^8 \ m/s$
  • B
    $2.25 \times 10^8 \ m/s$
  • C
    $1.78 \times 10^8 \ m/s$
  • D
    $1.50 \times 10^8 \ m/s$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: Refractive index of glass is higher than that of air.
Reason $(R)$: Optical density of a medium is directly proportionate to its mass density which results in a proportionate refractive index.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

The velocity of light in a medium is $1.5 \times 10^8 \ m/s$. Its refractive index will be:

Blue light travelling in a vacuum has a wavelength of $450 \ nm$. It enters a medium whose refractive index is $1.5$. What is its frequency in the medium? $(Speed of light in vacuum = 3 \times 10^8 \ m \ s^{-1})$

Light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ in medium $A$ enters into medium $B$ through a plane surface. If the frequency of light is $5 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$ and the ratio of speed in medium $A$ to that in medium $B$ is $\frac{4}{5}$,the absolute refractive index of medium $B$ is:

In the figure shown here,the angle made by the light ray with the normal in the medium of refractive index $\sqrt{3}$ is.......$^o$
