Solution:
Given
According to the question, speed of light in air is
c = 3 × 108 m / s
And the refractive index of glass is
μ = 1.5
We have to calculate the speed of light in glass, v
Using the expression below,
c / v = μ
Upon re-arranging we have => v = c / μ
v = 3 × 108 m / s / 1.5
Therefore, v = 2 × 108 m / s
