light travels from air through two layers with index of refraction n1 and n2, respectively. If upon entering each layer light loses 10% of its velosity, what is the index of refraction n2

Expert Solution

First ,find out velocity in both mediums by using that velocity loses 10% of it ,while entering the medium and after that applying Snell's law of refraction to find refractive index of n2. Hence , refractive index of n2 comes out to be 0.81.
