Medium n=2. Light speed in medium: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Medium n=2. Light speed in medium:
A. 0.5×10⁸ m/s
B. 1.5×10⁸ m/s
C. 6×10⁸ m/s
D. 3×10⁸ m/s
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
v = c/n = 3×10⁸/2 = 1.5×10⁸ m/s. Direct refractive index application. Memory tip: 'Higher n ⇒ slower light; v = c/n'. Optics calculation frequently tested in competitive exams.
