Answered by admin @



Given that,

The ratio of thickness of two plates of two transparent medium A and B is 16:5.

To find,

The refractive index of A with respect to B.

Solution,

The refractive index of A with respect to B is given by the formula as follows :

_B\mu ^A=\dfrac{\mu_ A}{\mu _B}

Ratio of thickness, \dfrac{d_A}{d_B}=\dfrac{16}{5} ....(1)

Since, time taken by light through A is twice than that of B. So,

t_A=2t_B

Time=distance/velocity

So,

\dfrac{d_A}{v_A}=\dfrac{2d_B}{v_B}\\\\\dfrac{d_A}{d_B}=2\dfrac{v_A}{v_B}

From equation (1)

\dfrac{16}{5}=2\dfrac{v_A}{v_B}\\\\\dfrac{v_A}{v_B}=\dfrac{8}{5} .....(2)

It implies, _B\mu ^A=\dfrac{\mu_ A}{\mu _B}=\dfrac{v_A}{v_B}

From equation (2)

\dfrac{\mu_ A}{\mu _B}=\dfrac{8}{5}\\\\=1.6

So, the refractive index of A wrt B is 1.6
