The refractive indices of water, diamond and glass are 1.33, 2.0 and 1.5 respectively. In which of these will the speed of light be the maximum ? Justify your answer with a suitable reason.


The refractive index of a material is given by,


straight n space equals space straight c over straight v space equals space fraction numerator velocity space of space light space in space vacuum over denominator velocity space of space light space in space medium end fraction

Since c is constant, 

space space space space space space straight V space proportional to space 1 over straight nu

rightwards double arrow space space straight V space proportional to space 1 over straight n 

Refractive index of water is 1.33, 2.0 and 1.5.

Longer the refractive index lesser is the velocity of light hence, velocity of light is maximum in water (1.33).
