Question

If \(v_1\) and \(v_2\) are the speeds of light in the two media of refractive indices \(n_1\) and \(n_2\) respectively, then

• A. \(\frac {v_1}{v_2} = \frac {n_1}{n_2}\)
• B. \(\frac {v_1}{v_2} = \frac {n_2}{n_1}\)
• C. \(\frac {v_1}{v_2} = \frac {n_1^2}{n_2^2}\)
• D. \(\frac {v_1}{v_2} = \frac {n_2^2}{n_1^2}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct option is (B): \(\frac {v_1}{v_2} = \frac {n_2}{n_1}\).
