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. 6×10⁸ m/s
C. 3×10⁸ m/s
D. 1.5×10⁸ m/s
Answer: Option D
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.

Question #2
In geometric optics, the power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its:
A. Radius of curvature
B. Magnification
C. Refractive index
D. Focal length in meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The power (P) of a lens indicates its converging or diverging ability. It is mathematically defined as the reciprocal of the focal length (f), provided the focal length is measured in meters. The formula is P = 1 / f(in meters). The SI unit of power for a lens is the Diopter (D). A focal length of 0.5m gives a power of 2D.

Question #3
The pitch of a sound depends on its
A. Amplitude
B. Wavelength
C. Speed
D. Frequency

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Pitch is subjective perception of frequency. Higher frequency higher pitch. Amplitude determines loudness. Speed and wavelength related by v = fλ, but pitch is frequency-based. Human ear 20 Hz-20 kHz.
