Answer:
Explanation:
The speed of light in carbon di sulphide is 1/163 times the speed of light
in vacuum..
In other words the refractive index of a medium is the measure of speed of light in that medium.It is expressed as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum relative to that in the medium under consideration.
Refractive index=n=speed of light in vacuum/speed of light in the medium given
So speed of ligt in carbondisulphide=3*10^8/1.63=1.84*10^8m/sec..
