A ray of light travels from air to water. The refeactive index of water is given by the expression

  • A. \(\frac{\text{velocity in water}}{\text{velocity in air}}\)
  • B. \(\frac{\text{sine of angle of refraction}}{\text{sine of angle of incidence}}\)
  • C. \(\frac{\text{apparent depth}}{\text{real depth }}\)
  • D. \(\frac{\text{wavelength in air}}{\text{wavelength in water}}\)

Correct Answer: D. \(\frac{\text{wavelength in air}}{\text{wavelength in water}}\)
