The refractive index of water is 1.33 and the speed of light in air is 3×10^8ms^-1.calculate the speed of light in water

Answered by admin @



Refractive index = Speed of light in vaccum / Speed of light in water. It is denotes as n = c / v, v = c / n= 3 × 10^8 m/s / (1.33) = 2.25 × 10^8 m/s.

Therefore, refractive index of the water can be measure by the Speed of light in water is 2.25 × 10^8 m/s.
