Answer:
the answer is 2.3. I just answered this question and got it right.
Explanation:
The phenomenon bending of a wave as it crosses from one medium to another is said to be refraction. The speeds of light in the water will be 2.25×10⁸ m/sec.
The phenomenon bending of a wave as it crosses from one medium to another is said to be refraction. The difference in density is the cause of the bending.
Refraction is a term that is used to describe the phenomenon of refraction."The change in direction of a wave traveling through one medium to another is known as refraction."
The following data are given in the problem;
C is the Speed of light in a vacuum =3×10⁸ m/sec.
n is an index of refraction for water = 1.333
v is the speed of light in the water=?
The index of refraction is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in water. By the formula of the index of refraction.
[tex]n=\dfrac{c}{v}[/tex]
[tex]V=\dfrac{c}{n}[/tex]
[tex]V=\dfrac{3\times10^8}{1.333}[/tex]
[tex]V=2.25\times 10^8 m/s[/tex]
Hence the speed of light in the water will be 2.25×10⁸ m/sec.
