A Concave mirror can be used in car head lights
1) So u = c/v where c = speed of light in vacum and v = speed of light in substance
1.31 = 3 x 10⁸/v
v = 2.29 x 10⁸ m/s
2) 1.83 = 3 x 10⁸/v
v = 1.64 x 10⁸ m/s

The mirror used in a car headlight is the Concave spherical mirror. The reason is that: the bulb is placed nearly at the focus of the concave mirror. The light rays get reflected parallel to the axis of the mirror. Now the headlight is inclined at a small angle to the road and so they fall on the road at a long distance from the car like 30 to 40 meters.
The language in the question is not clear.. But I assume the following:
I assume that the values given are the refractive indices of the media.
μ = 1.31 for ice.
μ = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in the medium
speed of light in ice = (3 * 10⁸ m/s) / 1.31 = 2.29 * 10⁸ meters/sec
2) carbon di-sulfide has a refractive index = 1.83
speed of light in Carbon di-sulfide = 3 * 10⁸ / 1.83 = 1.639 * 10⁸ m/sec
