To find the speed of light in water given the refractive index and the speed of light in air, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Refractive Index Formula**: The refractive index (n) of a medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum (c) to the speed of light in that medium (v). The formula is: \[ n = \frac{c}{v} ...
