Answer:

refractive index for water,glass,diamond are 0.752m, 0.667m, 0.413m respectively

Explanation:

refractive index (n) = \frac{velocity of light in air/vacuum}{velocity of light in substance}

velocity =\frac{distance}{time}

The time for travel is kept constant for all mediums.

refractive index (n) = \frac{\frac{distance in vacuum}{time} }{\frac{distance in medium}{time} }\\ \\=\frac{distance in vacuum}{distance in medium}

distance in medium = \frac{distance in vacuum}{refractive index of medium}

S_{medium}  = \frac{S_{vacuum} }{n_{medium} }

For water, n= 1.33

S_{water} = \frac{1 }{1.33}

S_{water} = 0.752m

For glass, n=1.5

S_{glass}= \frac{1 }{1.5}

S_{glass} = 0.667m

For diamond, n= 2.42

S_{diamond} = \frac{1 }{2.42}

S_{diamond} = 0.413m

mash [69]

Answer:

4000 km

Explanation:

as we know velocity of electromagnetic wave is c

c = 3 * 10^8 m/s

frequency  given (f) = 76 Hz

wavelength ?

using

c =fλ

λ =   \frac{c}{f}

λ =  \frac{3 * 10^8}{76}  ≈4000 km

 so final answer λ = 4000km
