AI Generated Solution

To find the refractive index of glass given the speed of light in glass, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Formula for Refractive Index**: The refractive index (μ) of a medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum (C) to the speed of light in the medium (V). The formula is: \[ \mu = \frac{C}{V} ...
