Light travels through water in a beaker. The height of the water column is $h$. If the refractive index of water is $\mu_{w}$ and $C$ is the velocity of light in air,the time taken by light to travel through the water will be:

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_{w} h}{C}$
  • B
    $h \mu_{w} C$
  • C
    $\frac{hC}{\mu_{w}}$
  • D
    $\frac{h}{\mu_{w} C}$
