Q-00001664
Discuss the difference between optically rarer and denser media.
1
Rarer media have higher refractive index
2
Denser media have higher refractive index
3
Rarer media slow down light more
4
Denser media speed up light more
Answer and Solution
Answer
B. Denser media have higher refractive index
Solution:
Optically denser media have a higher refractive index compared to optically rarer media. This higher refractive index indicates a greater optical density and a stronger bending of light rays in denser media.
