Question

Light enters from air into glass plate which has a refractive index of 1.5. Calculate the speed of light in glass. (given, speed of light in vacuum is 3 x 108ms-1

Answer 1

Answer:

Given parameters

Speed of light in vacuum (c) = 3 × 108 ms-1

Refractive index of glass (ng) = 1.50

Refractive index of a medium = Speed of light in vacuum/Speed of light in the medium

Refractive index of glass = Speed of light in vacuum/Speed of light in the glass

Speed of light in the glass (v) = Speed of light in vacuum/ Refractive index of glass

v = c/ng

v = (3 × 108)/1.50

v = 2 × 108 ms-1
