- AOn elasticity of the medium only.
- BOn inertia of the medium only.
- COn elasticity as well as inertia.
- DNeither on elasticity nor on inertia.
Explanation:
The speed of light in any medium depends on the refractive index of that medium, which is an intensive property. Hence, speed of light is not affected by the elasticity and inertia of the medium.
