The refractive index of a liquid is 1.5. If the velocity of light in vacuum is 3.0 x 10\(^8ms^{-1}\), the velocity of light in the liquid is
1.5 x 10\(^8ms^{-1}\)
2.0 x 10\(^8ms^{-1}\)
3.0 x 10\(^8ms^{-1}\)
4.5 x 10\(^8ms^{-1}\)
설명
n = \(\frac{\text{speed in air}}{\text{speed in glass}}\)
1.5 = \(\frac{3 \times 10^4}{\text{speed in glass}}\)
Speed in glass = 3 x 10\(^8\)m/s / 1.5
= 2 x 10\(^8\)m/s
