If $\varepsilon_{0}$ and $\mu_{0}$ are the permittivity and permeability of free space and $\varepsilon$ and $\mu$ are the corresponding quantities for a medium,then the refractive index of the medium is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}{\mu \varepsilon}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{\mu \varepsilon}{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}}$
  • C
    $1$
  • D

On heating a liquid,the refractive index generally

In a medium,the speed of a light wave decreases to $0.2$ times its speed in free space. The ratio of relative permittivity to the refractive index of the medium is $x: 1$. The value of $x$ is $...........$ (Given: speed of light in free space $= 3 \times 10^8 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and for the given medium $\mu_r = 1$)

$A$ large square container with thin transparent vertical walls and filled with water (refractive index $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$) is kept on a horizontal table. $A$ student holds a thin straight wire vertically inside the water at a distance of $12 \ cm$ from one of its corners,as shown in the figure. Looking at the wire from this corner,another student sees two images of the wire,located symmetrically on each side of the line of sight. The separation (in $cm$) between these images is:

If the wavelength of light in air is $4200\, \mathring A$,what will be the wavelength of light in water $(\mu = 4/3)$ in $\mathring A$?

$A$ beam of monochromatic blue light of wavelength $4200 Å$ in air travels in water of refractive index $4/3$. Its wavelength in water will be: (in $Å$)
