Question

​The refractive indices of mediums 1,2 and 3 are 1.46,1.65 and 1.31, respectively. If the speed of light in the mediums are v_1,v_2 and v_3, respectively, which of the following relations between them is correct?

A.

v_3>v_1>v_2

B.

v_2>v_3>v_1

C.

v_1>v_2>v_3

D.

v_1=v_2=v_3

Correct option is A

Given: 
n2 = 1.65,  the speed v2 will be the  lowest.
n3 = 1.31, the speed v3 will be the highest.
Formula :
v= c / n1,   v2 = c / n2 ,  v3 = c/n3
Solution: 
nv = c  Where n is refrective index,v is speed of light in that medium, c is speed of light in vaccum.
v1 : v2​ : v3 = 1 / 1.46 : 1  /1.65 : 1 / 1.31
So, the relation between the speed of light is:
= v> v1 > v3
This, is the correct relation.
Correct Option: (a)
