What is the index of refraction of a material in which the speed of light is 7.50% slower than the speed of light in vacuum?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value is [tex]n = 1.081[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed of in a vacuum is [tex]c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]

    The speed of light in the material is  [tex]v = c -0.075c = 0.925 c = 0.925 * 3.0*10^{8} = 2.775 *10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]

   Generally the reflection of the material is mathematically represented as

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

=>    [tex]n = \frac{3.0*10^{8}}{2.775 *10^{8}}[/tex]

=>    [tex]n = 1.081[/tex]
