Question

Choose all correct statements: Refractive index of medium A with respect to medium B is 4/3 and refractive index of medium A with respect to medium C is 3/2. Medium B is denser than medium C When light travels from B to C light bends away from the normal Refractive index of C with respect to B is 8/9 Ratio of speed of light in medium B to the speed of light in medium A = 4/3

Answer 1

Medium B is denser than medium C

When light travels from B to C light bends away from the normal .

Refractive index of C with respect to B is 8/9

Ratio of speed of light in medium B to the speed of light in medium A = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Refractive index of medium A / Refractive index of medium B = 4/3

Refractive index of medium A / Refractive index of medium C = 3/2

Dividing ,

Refractive index of medium B / Refractive index of medium C

= 3/2 x 3/4

= 9 / 8

Refractive index of medium B > Refractive index of medium C

Refractive index of C with respect to B is 8/9

speed of light in medium B / the speed of light in medium A

= refractive index of A / refractive index of B = 4 / 3
