To find the time taken by light to travel a distance of 3 cm in glass, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given values - The speed of light in vacuum (c) = \(3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}\) - The refractive index of glass (not given directly, but we will assume it is similar to water for this example) = \( \frac{4}{3} \) - Distance to travel = 3 cm = \(3 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m}\) ### Step 2: Calculate the speed of light in glass ...
