What is the speed of light in glass of refractive index `1.5` ? Given speed of light in water is `2.25 xx 10^8 m//s` and refractive index of water is `1.3`.

Answer» Here, `mu_(g) = 1.5, v_(g) = ? Mu_(w) = 1.3`,
`v_(w) = 2.25 xx 10^(8)m//s`
As `(v_(g))/(v_(w)) = (mu_(w))/(mu_(g)) = (1.3)/(1.5)`
`:. v_(g) = (1.3)/(1.5)v_(w) = (1.3 xx 2.25 xx 10^(8))/(1.5)`
`= 1.95 xx 10^(8)m//s`
