What is the speed of light in crown glass if the index of refraction for crown glass is 1. 52? provide the solution: ___________ x 108 m/s

Sagot :

The speed of light in crown glass with the index of refraction is 1.97×10^8 m/s.

Given index of refraction= 1.52

          speed of light in vaccum= 3×10^8 m/s

           speed of light in medium=c/n= 3×10^8/1.52= 1.97×10^8 m/s  

About  index of refraction:

The ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to that in a second medium with a higher density is used to compute the refractive index (also known as the index of refraction). In mathematical formulae and descriptive writing, the letter n or n' is most frequently used to represent the refractive index variable.

The index of refraction controls how much light is refracted or twisted when it enters a substance.
