The refractive index of glass is 1.5. What is the speed of light in glass? (Speed of light in vacuum is 3.0 × 108 m s–1)

Given:


Refractive index of glass (μ) = 1.5


v = Velocity of light in a medium


Now, the Refractive index of medium is given as,



According to the formula,



v = 2 × 108 m/s.


Speed of light in glass is 2 × 108 m/s.
