Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:

The speed of the light increases if the density of the medium increases.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Light:

1. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation and transverse that enables the human eye to see or make things visible.
2. When the light goes from a rarer medium to the denser medium, its speed decreases and bends towards the normal.
3. In a denser medium, the particles are very close to each other, as a result, the refractive index is more than in the rarer medium. So the speed of light will decrease.

So, the given statement is false.
