What is velocity of light in water ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the velocity of light in water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Speed of Light in Different Mediums The speed of light varies in different mediums. It travels fastest in a vacuum, then in air, followed by water, and slowest in solids. ### Step 2: Know the Speed of Light in Air The speed of light in air is approximately \(3 \times 10^8\) meters per second. This is a standard value that is often used for calculations. ...
