ICSE Class 10 Answered

Speed of light in water is 2.25 * 10^8 ms^-1 and speed of light in glass is 2 * 10^8 ms^-1. Which is the denser medium?
Asked by | 17 Sep, 2012, 12:51: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer
the speed of light in a medium is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium
thus glass has a higher refractive index.

(a) Choose the correct statement with respect to Refraction of light [1] 1. The colour always changes when light enters from one optical medium to another. 2. Absorption of light when it strikes the surface of a medium is refraction. 3. Speed of light changes when it enters from one optical medium to another of different optical density. 4. Speed of light does not change when it enters from one optical medium to another of different optical density.
