When the same monochromatic ray of light travels through a glass slab and through water,the number of waves in a glass slab of thickness $5 \ cm$ is the same as in a water column of height $6 \ cm$. If the refractive index of glass is $1.56$,then the refractive index of water is:

  • A
    $1.28$
  • B
    $1.29$
  • C
    $1.3$
  • D
    $1.32$
