Light enters from air to glass having refractive index


Asked by admin @ in Science viewed by 326 People


light enters from air to glass having refractive index 1.5 what is the speed of light in the glass ?the speed of light is vacuum is 3x10 tace 8 m/s

Answered by admin @



Refractive Index = Speed of light in vaccum/speed of light in medium

1.5 = 3×10^8/speed of light in glass

Speed of light in glass
= (3×10^8)/1.5
= 2× 10^8 m/s
