Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

  1. The frequency of a light wave in a material is 2 × 1014 Hz and wavelength is 5000 Å. The refractive index of material will be
    1. 1.50
    2. 3.00
    3. 1.33
    4. 1.40
Correct Option: B

By using ​v = nλ
Here, n = 2 × 1014 Hz
λ = 5000 Å = 5000 × 10-10 m
v = 2 × 1014 × 5000 × 10-10 = 108 m / s
Refractive index of the material,

μ = c / v =
3 × 108
= 3
108
