The refractive index of glass is $3/2$ and the refractive index of water is $4/3$. If the speed of light in glass is $2.00 \times 10^8 \ m/s$,the speed of light in water will be:

  • A
    $2.67 \times 10^8 \ m/s$
  • B
    $2.25 \times 10^8 \ m/s$
  • C
    $1.78 \times 10^8 \ m/s$
  • D
    $1.50 \times 10^8 \ m/s$

The refractive index of glass is $1.5$ and that of water is $1.3$. If the speed of light in water is $2.25 \times 10^8 \, m/s$,what is the speed of light in glass?

$A$ beam of light propagating in medium $A$ with index of refraction $n(A)$ passes across an interface into medium $B$ with index of refraction $n(B)$. The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction; $v(A)$ and $v(B)$ denote the speed of light in $A$ and $B$. Then which of the following is true?

An insect starts moving up in a liquid from point $O$ with a variable refractive index $\mu = \mu_0(1 + ay)$,where $y$ is the depth of the liquid from the surface. If $u$ is the speed of the insect,what is its apparent speed to the observer $E$?

If light passes near a massive object,the gravitational interaction causes a bending of the ray. This can be thought of as happening due to a change in the effective refractive index of the medium given by $n = 1 + \frac{2GM}{rc^2}$,where $r$ is the distance of the point of consideration from the centre of the mass of the massive body,$G$ is the universal gravitational constant,$M$ is the mass of the body,and $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum. Considering a spherical object,find the deviation of the ray from the original path as it grazes the object.
