Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the refractive index of glass given the speed of light in glass, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for 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: \[ n = \frac{c}{v} \] ### Step 2: Identify the values - The speed of light in vacuum (c) is approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s. ...
