Question

Light travels at a speed of 2.26 X 10^8 m/s in water. What is the index of refraction for water? Show your work

Answer 1

HEYA GM ❤

μ¹ = Air, μ² = water , v¹ = velocity of light in air , v² = velocity of light in water...

BY SNELL'S LAW ;

★ μ²/ μ1 =V¹ / V²

μ² = 1 × (3 × 10^8 / 2.26 × 10^8 )

μ² = 3 / 2.26 ≈ 1.33

A. Refractive index of Water is 1.33
