Question
Which of the following statements is false about the classical index of refraction of a bulk material
a) The refractive index is related to the relative permittivity and permeability constants of the bulk material
b) The refractive index is related to the speed of the wave in the material
c) The refractive index can be greater than 1
d) The refractive index can be less than 1
a) The refractive index is related to the relative permittivity and permeability constants of the bulk material
b) The refractive index is related to the speed of the wave in the material
c) The refractive index can be greater than 1
d) The refractive index can be less than 1
Explanation / Answer
Option b is false statement.
Refractive index is material propery. It does not change with speed of wave.
