Question
The refractive indices of materials $A$ and $B$ have a ratio of $n_{A} / n_{B}=1.33$ . The speed of light in material $A$ is $1.25 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ . What is the speed of light in material $B ?$
Step 1
This can be written as $n = \frac{c}{v}$, where $n$ is the refractive index, $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum, and $v$ is the speed of light in the medium. Show more…
