प्रश्न

A light ray enters from medium A to medium B as shown in the figure.

If the speed of light in medium A is `v_a` and in medium B is `v_b`, what is the refractive index of B with respect to A.

उत्तर

Speed of light in rarer medium A `(v_a)` is greater then the speed of light in denser medium B `(v_b) i.e., v_a> v_2`

Thus, refractive index of B relative to A, 

`n_(BA) = ("Speed of light in Medium A" (v_a))/("Speed of light in Medium B" (v_b))`

`n_(BA) = v_a/v_b`

 ⇒ `n>1`
