The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum. What is the refractive index of the medium?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the refractive index of a medium where the speed of light is given as a fraction of its speed in vacuum, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between speed of light in vacuum and in a medium**: The speed of light in vacuum is denoted as \( c \), and the speed of light in the medium is denoted as \( v \). The refractive index \( n \) of the medium is defined as: \[ n = \frac{c}{v} ...
