Part Description Answer The speed of light in a vacuum or in air is most nearly A. 1. 343 m/s 2. 3 x 10^8 m/s 3. 3 x 10^9 m/s 4. 1 mph The index of refraction of glass is 1.5 and the index of refraction of water is 1.333. Light travels B. 1. faster in glass than in water 2. faster in water than in glass 3. the same speed in both substances C. A laser with a wavelength of 600 nm reflects off of a flat mirror. If the angle of incidence is 26 degrees, at what angle does the light reflect back? (include units with answer)

Refractive Index You are underwater diving in the Pacific Ocean and look up at the surface. You notice you can only see the sky to an angle of 48.0° from the vertical direction. Assuming the refractive index of air is 1.00, what is the refractive index of the water? Please give your answer in 2 decimal places.

Assertion: 1.33 is the absolute refractive index of water. Reason: Water is optically rarer than air.
