Question 16 (1 point)

Light travels through a material at a speed of 4.3 x 108 m/s. What is the index of

refraction for the material?

Your Answer:

Answer

units

Respuesta :

Answer:

η = 0.7

Explanation:

The refractive index of the material can be calculated by using the following formula:

[tex]\eta = \frac{c}{v}\\[/tex]

where,

η = refractive index of the material = ?

c = speedof light in vaccuum = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = speed of light in this material = 4.3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

[tex]\eta = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{4.3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}[/tex]

η = 0.7
