उत्तर
A ray of light of wavelength 600 nm propagates from air into a medium. If its wavelength in the medium becomes 400 nm, the refractive index of the medium is 1.5.
Explanation:
We know that refractive index and wavelength have an inverse relation. Therefore, the refractive index is stated to be inversely proportional to the wavelength.
`n = c/(flambda)`
Given: `lambda_1 = 600 "nm", lambda_2 = 400 "nm"`
To find: Refractive index (n)
`n_1lambda_1 = n_2lambda_2`
`n_2/n_1 = lambda_1/lambda_2`
`n_2 = 600/400` [∵ n1 = 1]
`n_2 = 1.5`

Consider Galileo's method of measuring the speed of light using two lanterns.

| A ray of light travels from a denser to a rarer medium. After refraction, it bends away from the normal. When we keep increasing the angle of incidence, the angle of refraction also increases till the refracted ray grazes along the interface of two media. The angle of incidence for which it happens is called critical angle. If the angle of incidence is increased further the ray will not emerge and it will be reflected back in the denser medium. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection of light. |
The critical angle for a pair of two media A and B of refractive indices 2.0 and 1.0 respectively is:
