Question
What is the speed of light in a substance whose index ofrefraction is 1.62?
Step 1
The speed of light in a substance is given by the formula: \[v = \frac{c}{n}\] where: - \(v\) is the speed of light in the substance, - \(c\) is the speed of light in vacuum, and - \(n\) is the index of refraction of the substance. Show more…
