Solution
Dear student
refractive index is the ratio of speed of light in air to that in medium
refractive index (the speed reduces by 30 %)
= c/(c-0.3c)=c/0.7c
=1.4
c is speed of light
refractive index is the ratio of speed of light in air to that in medium
refractive index (the speed reduces by 30 %)
= c/(c-0.3c)=c/0.7c
