Question

Calculate the speed of light in glycerine if it's index of refraction is 1.47

Answer 1

Answer:

The refractive index of glycerine = 1.46.

the speed of light in glycerine is 2.05 into 10 to the power 8 metre per second .

Refractive index= Speed of light in air /Speed of light in glycerine

1.46= speed of light in air /2.05x10^8m/s

speed of light in air = 1.46× 2.05×10^8m/s

= 2.99×10^8m/s

its nearly equal to =3x10^8 m/s
