Answer:

Given:

Speed of light in air = 3 × 10^8 m/s

Refractive Index = 4/3

To find:

Speed of light in water

Concept:

Refractive Index is the ratio of velocity of light(Electromagnetic waves) in air or vacuum to the velocity of light in that medium.

Calculation:

  \therefore \: \mu =  \dfrac{vel. \: in \: vacuum}{vel. \: in \: medium}

 =  >  \dfrac{4}{3}  =  \dfrac{3 \times  {10}^{8} }{v}

 =  > v =  \dfrac{9}{4}  \times  {10}^{8}  \: m {s}^{ - 1}

 =  > v = 2.25 \times  {10}^{8}  \: m {s}^{ - 1}

So final answer is :

  \boxed{ \red{ \bold{ \huge{ v = 2.25 \times  {10}^{8}  \: m {s}^{ - 1} }}}}

QUESTION -

The speed of light in air is 3*10power8m/s inwater of reflective index 4 by 3 then find the speed of light in water.

SOLUTION -

 C_{A} = 3 \times { 10 } ^ 8 \:  m / s

 C _{ W } = K

 \nu_{2}_{1} = \dfrac{ 4}{3}

 => \dfrac{ 3 \times { 10 } ^ 8 }{ k } = \dfrac{4}{3}

 => k = \dfrac{9}{4} \times { 10 } ^ 8 \: m / s = 2.25 \times { 10 } ^ 8 \: m/s
