The speed of violet and red light in float glass.
Answer to Problem 50A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The index of refraction of float glass for violet light,
The index of refraction of float glass for red light,
Formula used:
The index of refraction is given by,
Where,
Calculation:
Using the above formula, the speed of violet light in float glass will be,
Similarly, the speed of red light in float glass will be,
Conclusion:
Hence, the speed of violet light in float glass is
