Ray Optics and Optical Instruments - Result Question 23
23. Time taken by sunlight to pass through a window of thickness $4 mm$ whose refractive index is $\frac{3}{2}$ is
(a) $2 \times 10^{-4} sec$
(b) $2 \times 10^{8} sec$
(c) $2 \times 10^{-11} sec$
(d) $2 \times 10^{11} sec$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 23. (c)
Solution:
- (c) $v_g=\frac{c}{\mu}=\frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{\frac{3}{2}}=2 \times 10^{8} m / s$
$t=\frac{x}{v_g}=\frac{4 \times 10^{-3}}{2 \times 10^{8}}=2 \times 10^{-11} s$
