For the same value of angle incidence, the angles of refraction in three media A, B and C are 15°, 25° and 35° respectively. In which medium would the velocity of light be minimum? 


As per Snell’s law we have,

 
For given i, v sin r 
r is minimum in medium A, so the velocity of light is minimum in medium A.
