Question

Compute the index of refraction for the substance where lightpropagates with speed v = 1.4 × 10⁸ m/s (speed of light in vacuum isc = 3 × 10⁸ m/s)

Calculate to 2 decimals.

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.
