To find the speed of light in glass, we can use the formula related to the refractive index. 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 given by: \[ n = \frac{c}{v} \] Where: - \( n \) = refractive index of the medium (for glass, \( n = 1.50 \)) - \( c \) = speed of light in vacuum (\( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \)) ...
