Solution

The correct option is D 1010
Given, refractive index of glass
μg=1.5

We know,
μ=Speed of light in vacuumSpeed of light in medium=cv

v=cμg

v=3×1081.5=2×108 ms1

Thickness of the slab, d=2 cm=0.02 m
Time taken by a ray of light to travel through the glass slab is given as
t=dv=0.022×108=1010 seconds

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B.
