Question

6. The speed of light in a newly discovered substance (we'll call it Chemical XYZ, Chemical X was taken) is 40.33% of the value in Diamond. What then, is the index of refraction of Chemical XYZ?

Answer 1

solution Por any material of refractive index n, the velocity of light in material is v. V=C e is velocity of light ) Por diamond n = 2.4.1 = c. 3x10 2.41 1.248 108 m/s.
