Optics 7 Question 20

20. Choose the correct statement.

(a) The speed of light in the meta-material is $v=c|n|$

(b) The speed of light in the meta-material is $v=\frac{c}{|n|}$

(c) The speed of light in the meta-material is $v=c$

(d) The wavelength of the light in the meta-material $\left(\lambda _m\right)$ is given by $\lambda _m=\lambda _{\text {air }}|n|$, where $\lambda _{\text {air }}$ is the wavelength of the light in air.

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Since value of $n$ in meta-material is negative.

$$ \therefore \quad v=\frac{c}{|n|} $$
