The speed of light depends
(a) on elasticity of the medium only
(b) on inertia of the medium only
(c) on elasticity as well as inertia
(d) neither on elasticity nor on inertia.
The light does not require even a medium. The speed of light in a medium is the intrinsic property of that medium which is related to the refractive index of the medium.
The refractive index of the medium nm is given by
nm= (Speed of light in air) / (Speed of light in medium)=c/v
Let v1 be the speed of light in medium 1 and v2 be...
Refractive index of a medium is defined as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium. i.e., Refractive index (of a medium)...
(c) the elastic property as well as the inertia property
EXPLANATION:
The speed of the sound in a fluid is V = √(B/ρ) and in a longitudinal solid rod V = √(Y/ρ)...
(b) light goes from optically denser medium to rarer medium
EXPLANATION:
When the light goes from a denser medium to lighter medium, it goes away from the normal. When the angle of...
It is true that measure of price elasticity of demand for a normal good carrier minus sign because there is an inverse relationship between P and Q. Whereas there is...
