Q17.Time taken by light to travel in two different materials ๐ด and ๐ต of refractive indices ๐œ‡๐ด and ๐œ‡๐ต of same thickness is ๐‘ก1 and ๐‘ก2 respectively. If ๐‘ก2 - ๐‘ก1 = 5 ร— 10-10s and the ratio of ๐œ‡๐ด to ๐œ‡๐ต is 1: 2. Then the thickness of material, in meter is: (Given ๐‘ฃ๐ด and ๐‘ฃ๐ต are velocities of light in ๐ด and ๐ต materials respectively). (1) 5 ร— 10-10๐‘ฃ๐ด m (2) 5 ร— 10-10 m (3) 1 . 5 ร— 1010 m (4) 5 ร— 10-10๐‘ฃ๐ต m
