The speed of light in an unknown medium is measured to be 2.76 x10% m/s. What is the index of refraction of the medium?

The Speed Of Light In An Unknown Medium Is Measured To Be 276 X10 Ms What Is The Index Of Refraction Of The Medium class=

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the index of refraction is expressed as

n = c/v

where

n is the index of refraction

v is the speed of light in the medium

c is the speed of light in vacuum and its value is 3 x 10^8 m/s

From the information given,

v = 2.76 x 10^8 m/s

Thus,

n = 3 x 10^8 m/s/2.76 x 10^8 m/s

n = 1.09

the index of refraction of the medium is 1.09
