Math, asked by suryanshifauzda, 1 year ago

Speed of light in glass is 2×10^8m/s and its refractive index is 1.5 what is the speed of light in medium whose refractive index is 4/3

Refractive Index = Speed of light in vaccum / speed of light in the medium

4/3 = 3 * 10^8 m/s / speed of light in that medium.

speed of light in that medium = 3 * 10^8 m/s / 4/3

speed of light in that medium = 3 * 10^8 m/s *3 / 4

speed of light in that medium = 9/4 * 10^8 m/s 

speed of light in that medium = 2.25 * 10^8 m/s

Hope it helps!!
Cheers!!
