Light enters from the air to glass having refractive index 1.50 calculate the speed of light in the glassgiven :: the speed of light in vacuum is = 3' 10 8' m/s

Answer»

Answer:-

\red{\bigstar} Speed of light in GLASS

\large\leadsto\boxed{\sf \purple{2 × 10^8 \: m/s}}

Given:-

Refractive INDEX of glass = 1.50

Speed of light in VACCUM = \bf{3 \times 10^8}

To Find:-

Speed of light in glass = ?

Solution:-

We know,

\pink{\bigstar}

\boxed{\sf \red{Refractive \: index = \dfrac{Speed \: of \: light \: in \: vaccum}{Speed \: of \: light \: in \: medium}}}

HENCE,

\sf{1.50 = \dfrac{3 \times 10^8}{Speed \: of \: light \: in \: glass}}

\sf{Speed \: of \: light \: in \: glass = \dfrac{3 \times 10^8}{1.50}}

\sf{Speed \: of \: light \: in \: glass = 2 \times 10^8}

Therefore, the speed of light in glass is \bf \pink{2 \times 10^8 \: m/s}.
