Refractive index n = c/v. For glass n=1.5, light speed is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Refractive index n = c/v. For glass n=1.5, light speed is:
A. 4.5×10⁸ m/s
B. 2×10⁸ m/s
C. 3×10⁸ m/s
D. 1.5×10⁸ m/s
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
v = c/n = 3×10⁸/1.5 = 2×10⁸ m/s. Direct refractive index formula application. Memory tip: 'Higher n ⇒ slower light; v = c/n'. Basic optics calculation frequently tested in competitive exams to verify formula recall and unit handling.

A person with myopia uses spectacles of power -2 D. Far point without glasses is
A. 50 cm
B. 25 cm
C. Infinity
D. 2 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
For myopia, corrective lens forms image of distant object at far point. 1/f = 1/(-far point) - 1/(-∞) => -2 = -1/F => F = 0.5 m = 50 cm.
