The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 2.99 × 10 power of 8 m/s, and the speed of light through a piece of glass is approximately 1.97 × 10 power of 8 m/s. What is the index of refraction for the piece of glass? 0.66 1.52 1.02 × 10 power of 8 4.96 × 10 power of 8

OpenStudy (shamim):

a meu b=Ca/Cb

could you explain it a little more please

OpenStudy (shamim):

a meu b=refractive index of the medium b with respect to the medium a

OpenStudy (shamim):

Ca=light velocity in the medium a

OpenStudy (shamim):

Cb= light velocity in the medium b
