Question
Which of the following has the minimum value of refractive index?
- Glass
- Water
- Air
- Kerosene
Hint:
Refractive index is the measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another.
The correct answer is: Air
- Refractive index is the measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another.
- The minimum value of Refractive Index is 1 that is of air.
- Air has the lowest refractive index of 1 which indicates that light travels fastest through air as compared to any other medium.
