speed of light in vaccum = 3x10^8 m/s

speed of light in turpentine
= 2.04 × 10^5 km/s
= 2.04 x10^5 x 10^3 m/s
=2.04 x10^8 m/s

refractive index
= (3x10^8 )/(2.04 x10^8)
=1.47 [approx]

Given speed of light in Turpentine Oil is 2.04×10⁵km/sec=2.04×10⁸m/sec
Speed of light in vacuum =3×10⁸m/sec.
Refractive index=speed of light in vacuum/speed of light in medium
⇒n=(3×10⁸)/(2.04×10⁸)
⇒n=3/2.04
⇒n=1.47
Therefore, the refractive index of Turpentine Oil is 1.47.
