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.
