The refractive index of medium is 1.5 and that of medium is 1.33. If the speed of light in air is , what is the speed of light in medium and respectively?
Solution:
When a light ray travels from one medium to another, its direction changes, because the velocity of light changes according to the medium.
The refractive index is the degree of the change of the direction of the light in two mediums.
