Refraction, Glass Slab & Apparent Depth

Refractive index of the medium is μ\mu and wavelength is λ\lambda, then which of the following proportionality relation is correct?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Frequency stays the same, so μ=cv=λ0λ\mu = \frac{c}{v} = \frac{\lambda_0}{\lambda}.
  2. For a given light, μ∝1λ\mu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda} (wavelength in the medium).
  3. So the answer is (b).
