The speed of light depends ____________ .
विकल्प
on elasticity of the medium only
on inertia of the medium only
on elasticity as well as inertia
neither on elasticity nor on inertia

उत्तर
neither on elasticity nor on inertia
The speed of light in any medium depends on the refractive index of that medium, which is an intensive property. Hence, speed of light is not affected by the elasticity and inertia of the medium.
